We compute cross sections for the Drell-Yan process in N--N collisions at next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$. The mass, rapidity, transverse momentum, and angular dependence of these cross sections are presented. An estimate of higher…

The rapid increase of the e+e- --> W+W- cross section in the threshold region provides a method for measuring M(W) at LEP2. The dependence of the theoretical cross section -- including the effects of the finite W width, Coulomb interactions…

The process $\ee \to \W^+\W^- \to \f_1 \fbar_2 \, \f_3 \fbar_4$ contains charges in the initial, intermediate and final stages. This gives a rich selection of possible QED interconnection effects. Coulomb interaction is the simplest of…

Top quark pair production in association with a W boson is a rare standard model process that has proven to be an intriguing puzzle for theorists and experimentalists alike. Recent measurements, performed at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, by both the…

Interactions between the products of the hadronic decays of different Ws in WW pair events can occur at several stages: from the colour rearrangement between the quarks coming from the primary branching, to the gluon exchange during the…
We show that, in stellar core plasmas, the one-body momentum distribution function is strongly dependent, at least in the high velocity regime, on the microscopic dynamics of ion elastic collisions and therefore on the effective collisional…
A model for total cross-sections incorporating QCD jet cross-sections and soft gluon resummation is described and compared with present data on $pp$ and ${\bar p}p$ cross-sections. Predictions for LHC are presented for different parameter…
