In the framework of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization, we compute both the polarized and the unpolarized decay widths for the processes $\eta_b(\chi_{bJ})\to J/\psi J/\psi$, accurate up to next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) in…

The FAC, PMS, and BLM optimization methods are applied to the QED corrections to the muon lifetime in the Fermi V-A theory. The FAC and PMS scales are close to m_e, while the BLM scale nearly concides with the geometric average \sqrt{m_e…

We study the effects of QCD corrections to the process $e^+e^-\rightarrow t\bar t+X\rightarrow b\ell^+\nu \bar b\ell^-\bar \nu+X$ above threshold. We show how to treat consistently to ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ the gluon radiation in both the…

We discuss $1/Q$ corrections to hard processes in QCD where $Q$ is a large mass parameter like the total energy in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The main problem we address ourselves to is whether these corrections to different processes…
