The electroweak contributions to the forward-backward asymmetry in the production of top-quark pairs at the Tevatron are evaluated at O(alpha^2) and O(alpha*alphas^2). We perform a detailed analysis of all partonic channels that produce an…
The aim of this short note is to fill in a gap in our earlier paper [16] on 2BSDEs with reflections, and to explain how to correct the subsequent results in the second paper [15]. We also provide more insight on the properties of 2RBSDEs,…
This talk summarizes the recent development in the evaluation of the leading order hadronic contributions to the running of the QED fine structure constant \alpha(s), at $s=M_{\rm Z}^2$, and to the anomalous magnetic moments of the muon…
A detailed error analysis is carried out for the determination of the MSbar charm quark mass $\bar m_c(\bar m_c)$ from moments at order alpha_s^2 of the charm cross section in e^+e^- annihilation. To estimate the theoretical uncertainties…
We reconsider the leading HQE contributions to the absorptive part of the mixing amplitude of neutral $D$ mesons by taking also $\alpha_s$ corrections and subleading $1/m_c$ corrections into account. We show that these contributions to…
Three-loop QCD corrections to the vector current correlator are considered. The large momentum procedure is applied in order to evaluate mass corrections up to order $(m^2/q^2)^6$. The inclusion of the first seven terms to the ratio…
We have calculated one loop quantum electrodynamic corrections to the process $ \gamma\gamma\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-\gamma $, where all photons are on mass shell and the muon mass is taken into account. The result is obtained in the analytical…
In this version we have corrected some minor errors in the tables, corrected typos, and added a reference. We have also updated our comparison with earlier workers. Figures are now included as uuencoded compressed tar files.
The high order corrections to renormalon are considered. Each new type of insertions into the renormalon chain of graphs generates the correction to the asymptotics of perturbation theory of the order of $\sim 1$. However, this series of…
We perform a quantitative analysis of $D\bar{D}$ mixing in Heavy Quark Effective Field Theory (HqEFT) including leading order QCD corrections. We find an enhancement of the short-distance contribution by a factor of two or three.
We calculate the one-loop supersymmetric QCD corrections to the width of the $W$-boson. We find that these are of order $\sim {{ \alpha_s} \over {\pi}} {1 \over 20} { {M^2_W} \over {M_S^2}} \Gamma_{u {\bar d}}$, where $M_S$ is the…
Unpolarized cross sections and double-helicity asymmetries of single-inclusive positive and negative charged hadrons at midrapidity from p+p collisions at sqrt(s)=62.4 GeV are presented. The PHENIX measurements for 1.0 < p_T < 4.5 GeV/c are…
The talk is on a computational set-up for calculating the production of a massive quark-antiquark pair in electron positron collisions to order $\alpha_s^2$ in the coupling of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at the differential level using the…
The top-antitop energy asymmetry is a promising observable of the charge asymmetry in jet-associated top-quark pair production at the LHC. We present new predictions of the energy asymmetry in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV, including…
We correct the second main theorem of the previous paper "A perturbation of the Dunkl harmonic oscillator on the line", by the first two authors. The corrections concern mainly certain estimates, which were also improved by adding more…
We compute, for top quark pair production at the Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider, the collider-independent forward-backward asymmetries defined in [1] in the standard model at next-to-leading order in QCD, including also…
We study linear power corrections ${\cal O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD}/Q)$ to certain collider observables. We present arguments that prove that such corrections cannot appear in observables that are inclusive with respect to QCD radiation, such as…
The $e^+e^- \to \gamma\gamma b\bar b$ is an irreducible background process in measuring the $H^0 \to \gamma\gamma$ decay width, if Higgs boson is produced in association with a $Z^0$-boson which subsequently decays via $Z^0 \to b\bar b$ at…
Citations are updated; referred papers are increased. An error right after the eq.~(27) is corrected, and several chages (not serious) are made.
We present the QCD corrections of order $\alpha_s^3$ to the decay rate of $b \to u \ell \bar \nu_\ell$, with $\ell = e,\mu$, originating from diagrams with closed fermion loops and neglecting the mass of the up quark. Our calculation relies…
