We present the O(alphas^4) virtual QCD corrections to gluon-gluon scattering due to the self-interference of the one-loop amplitude. We give analytic expressions renormalised in the MSbar scheme and work in conventional dimensional…
A number of old and new methods for computing $K\to\pi\pi$ amplitudes on the lattice are reevaluated. They all involve a non-perturbative determination of matching coefficients. I will show how problems related to operator mixing can be…
We investigate $J/\psi$ decays into octet baryon-antibaryons pairs. The decay amplitudes are computed within the collinear QCD factorisation framework. The subleading amplitude, which describes the decay of longitudinally polarised…
We predict glueball/oddball resonances lying on the pomeron/odderon trajectories. A simple new form of the trajectories, with threshold and asymptotic behaviour required by analyticity and unitarity, is proposed. The parameters of these…
Within QCD reggeon field theory we study the formation of two subsequent triple pomeron vertices in the process P$\to$PP$\to$PPP. We make use of an earlier investigation ~\cite{Bartels:1999aw} of the six-reggeon amplitude in deep inelastic…
We consider the exclusive decay $B\to J/\psi K$ using the QCD-improved factorization method in the heavy quark limit. It is shown that the decay amplitude is factorizable in this limit and nonfactorizable contributions are calculable from…

We show that a well-known simple formula for the explicit infrared poles of one-loop QCD amplitudes has a corresponding simple counterpart in unintegrated form. The unintegrated formula approximates the integrand of one-loop QCD amplitudes…

We develop a general theoretical framework for the description of higher-twist baryon operators which makes maximal use of the conformal symmetry of the QCD Lagrangian. The conformal operator basis is constructed for all twists. The…

We calculate the one-loop non-factorizable QCD corrections to the production and decay of pairs of top quarks at various collider experiments. These non-factorizable corrections interconnect the different production and decay stages of the…
Various suggestions exist for incorporating the strange quark into twisted mass QCD. One option for quenched simulations is to employ two twisted doublets, (u,d) and (c,s), with separate twist angles. Working in the isospin limit,…
The high hadronic event statistics collected at the Z energy (LEP I) allowed a good understanding of the QCD dynamics. The coupling constant $\alpha_s$ has been measured with several methods giving a global average $\alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.122…
