Using a 13.7/fb sample of continuum two-jet e+e- -> qqbar events collected with the CLEO detector, we have searched for correlations between / and /\bar particles, specifically in cases where the opening angle between the two particles is…
We present a phenomenological study of angularities measured on the highest transverse-momentum jet in LHC events that feature the associate production of a $Z$ boson and one or more jets. In particular, we study angularity distributions…

We study polarisation of W-bosons produced in association with one jet at the LHC. In particular, we provide all necessary theoretical ingredients for the precise extraction of polarisation fractions. To that end, we present new polarised…
The production of $J^{PC} = 1^{++},0^{-+}$ and $2^{-+}$ mesons in double tagged $e^+e^- \to e^+e^-R$ is calculated and found to have the same polarisation and dynamical characteristics as observed in $pp \to ppR$. Implications for the spin…
Measurements by the Belle Collaboration of the exclusive production of two charmonia in e^+ e^- annihilation differ substantially from theoretical predictions. Till now, no conclusive explanation for this remarkable discrepancy has been…

The investigation of W-pair production offers unique precision tests of the electroweak theory at future e+e- colliders, including precise determinations of cross sections, the W-boson mass, and gauge-boson self-couplings. The…
High precision analyses of experimental data for e+ e- annihillation, such as determination of jet rates or event shape observables, call for complete next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) perturbative QCD predictions. In this talk, we…
We investigate the possibility that the excess of four-jet events in $e^+e^-$ collisions at LEP-1.5 which has been reported by the ALEPH Collaboration could be due to the production of charginos or neutralinos, followed by their decay into…
Multi-jet production at the LHC is an important process to study. In particular, events with final state kinematic configurations where we have two jets widely separated in rapidity with similar pT and lots of mini-jets or jets populating…
The quark spin effects have been introduced in the Pythia 8 Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of $e^+e^-$ annihilation by interfacing the generator with the StringSpinner package. The package allows to simulate quark spin…
Based on a number of features from proton-proton collisions taken during Run 1 data taking period at the LHC, a boson with a mass around the Electro-Weak scale was postulated such that a significant fraction of its decays would comprise the…
We study the production of a W boson in association with a c-jet at the LHC. We calculate, for the first time, the complete set of NNLO QCD corrections to the dominant CKM-diagonal contribution to this process. Both signatures, ${\rm p}{\rm…
We consider the one-parameter family of jet substructure observables known as angularities using the specific case of inclusive jets arising from photoproduction events at an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). We perform numerical calculations at…
We present next-to-leading order QCD predictions for the total cross section and for a comprehensive set of transverse-momentum distributions in W + 5-jet production at the Large Hadron Collider. We neglect the small contributions from…
The weak decay of a polarized top quark has a rich structure of angular correlations among its decay products. We describe some of the noteworthy features of such decays. We then examine the three modes of single top production, with an…
