We explore the capability of a 500 or 1000 GeV $e^+e^-$ linear collider to measure anomalous quartic gauge boson couplings. In the framework of a non-linear effective Lagrangian with a custodial $SU)2)$ symmetry, there are only two…
The Higgs-boson production channel $gg\to h$ mediated by light-quark loops receives large logarithmic corrections in QCD, which can be resummed using factorization formulae derived in soft-collinear effective theory. In these factorization…
The sources of $W + n$-jet events in hadron collisions are higher-order QCD processes, but also multiple-parton interactions. A subprocess producing a $W + k$-jet final state, followed by one producing $l$ jets in the same nucleon-nucleon…
We explore the possibility to observe hard exclusive three-jet production in early LHC runs, corresponding to diffractive dissociation of the incident proton into three jets with large but compensating transverse momenta. This process is…

In collider physics, jet algorithms are a ubiquitous tool for clustering particles into discrete jet objects. Event shapes offer an alternative way to characterize jets, and one can define a jet multiplicity event shape, which can take on…
I review the factorisation properties of tree level amplitudes when three particles $i$, $j$, $k$ are collinear. The triple collinear splitting functions contain both iterated single unresolved contributions, and genuine double unresolved…
Heavy quark production in five jet events at $e^+e^-$ colliders is studied at tree level using helicity amplitudes. Total production rates for $2b3j$ and $4bj$ are given and compared with the corresponding results for massless quarks. The…
We present a calculation of diffractive charm jet production at hadron colliders in perturbative QCD based on the two-gluon exchange model. Differing from the previous calculations, we abandon the use of the effective color-singlet vitual…
The dynamical fluctuations inside the quark and antiquark jets are studied using Monte Carlo method. Quark and antiquark jets are identified from the 2-jet events in e+e- collisions at 91.2 GeV by checking them at parton level. It is found…
We present the even-N moments N =< 20 of the fourth-order (N^3LO) contribution P_{gq}^(3)(x) to the quark-to-gluon splitting function in perturbative QCD. These moments, obtained by analytically computing off-shell operator matrix elements…
We compared the multiplicities of pizero, eta, Kzero and of charged particles in quark and gluon jets in 3-jet events, as measured by the OPAL experiment at LEP. The comparisons were performed for distributions unfolded to 100% pure quark…
