In order to provide an estimate of eps'/eps several effective theories and physical effects have to be disentangled. In this talk I discuss how it is possible to predict eps '/eps taking into account all sources of large logs. The numerical…
Nature might be kinder than previously thought as far as epsilon'/epsilon is concerned. We show that the recently obtained experimental value for epsilon'/epsilon does not require sizeable 1/N and isospin-breaking corrections. We propose to…
We present a detailed analysis of epsilon'/epsilon within the Standard Model, taking into account the strong enhancement through final-state interactions identified in refs. [1] and [2]. The relevant hadronic matrix elements are fixed at…
The process e+ e- -> 3 jets offers the opportunity to measure the strong coupling constant. For an accurate determination, precise theoretical calculations are necessary. I will give an overview on the status of the next-to-next-to-leading…
We present the results for the Next-to-Leading Order effective hamiltonian for $\Delta S\!=\! 1$ decays, in presence of both QCD and QED corrections, and update the existing theoretical predictions for $\epsilon^\prime/\epsilon$. To appear…
A recent lattice evaluation of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$, finding a 2.1 $\sigma$ deviation from the experimental value, has revived the old debate about a possible $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ anomaly. The unfounded claims of a too low…
For processes involving structure functions and/or fragmentation functions, arguments that, over a range of a proper kinematic variable, there is a part that dominates the next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections are briefly reviewed. The…
An upgraded analysis of $\ep$, $x_d$ and $\epp/\ep$, using the latest determinations of the relevant experimental and theoretical parameters, is presented. Using the recent determination of the top quark mass, $m_t=(174 \pm 17)$ GeV, our…
Hilbert's epsilon-calculus is based on an extension of the language of predicate logic by a term-forming operator $\epsilon_{x}$. Two fundamental results about the epsilon-calculus, the first and second epsilon theorem, play a role similar…
A recent lattice prediction of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$, with a 2.1 $\sigma$ deviation from the experimental value, has triggered several studies of possible contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. We have recently updated…
We discuss the status of the next-to-next-to-leading order calculation in scattering processes, describing briefly the challenges that have been overcome and what challenges are still to be resolved.
Notes to lectures on the epsilon calculus, covering axioms, semantics, completeness, and the first epsilon theorem.
Identifying the effects of causes and causes of effects is vital in virtually every scientific field. Often, however, the needed probabilities may not be fully identifiable from the data sources available. This paper shows how partial…
The epsilon operator is a term-forming operator which replaces quantifiers in ordinary predicate logic. The application of this undervalued formalism has been hampered by the absence of well-behaved proof systems on the one hand, and…
We report on a calculation of epsilon'/epsilon at next-to-leading in the 1/N_c expansion and to lowest order in Chiral Perturbation Theory. We also discuss the chiral corrections to our results and give the result of including the two known…
In this talk we report on the state of the art on the calculation of cross section at next-to-next-to-leading (NNLO) accuracy.
Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as alternatives to human experts for estimating unknown quantities with associated uncertainty, a process known as Bayesian elicitation. We test this by asking eleven LLMs to estimate…
Decisions are often based on imprecise, uncertain or vague information. Likewise, the consequences of an action are often equally unpredictable, thus putting the decision maker into a twofold jeopardy. Assuming that the effects of an action…
In a posteriori error analysis, the relationship between error and estimator is usually spoiled by so-called oscillation terms, which cannot be bounded by the error. In order to remedy, we devise a new approach where the oscillation has the…
For some $\epsilon > 10^{-36}$ we give a randomized $3/2-\epsilon$ approximation algorithm for metric TSP.
