We analyse W boson production at hadron colliders in association with one or two jets, both with the exact kinematics and in the high-energy limit. We argue that the configurations that are kinematically favoured tend to have the W boson…
The processes with single top quark production provide a prototype search for the types of final state that are expected in many new physics scenarios. Some distinctive features are considered for particle production in the top sector in…
I discuss the calculation of cross sections for processes with six and eight fermions in the final state, contributing to single-top production and associated top-Higgs production at a linear collider. I describe the schemes for the…
Single W boson production in electron-positron collisions is studied with the L3 detector at LEP. The data sample collected at a centre-of-mass energy of \sqrt{s} = 188.7GeV corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 176.4pb^-1. Events with…
The leading-order process for the production of a Z boson and a heavy-quark jet at hadron colliders is gQ -> ZQ (Q=c,b). We calculate this cross section at next-to-leading order at the Tevatron and the LHC, and compare it with other sources…
To clarify the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism, we need to probe the Higgs self-couplings, which can be measured in Higgs pair productions. The associated production with a vector boson is special due to a clear tag in the final…
The production cross-section of a top quark in association with a $W$ boson is measured using proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb$^{-1}$, and was collected in 2012…
The complete matrix element for $e^+e^-\ar W^+W^-\bar b b$ is computed at tree level and applied to: {\bf a)} $\bar t t$ production and decay ; {\bf b)} $ZH$ production followed by $Z\ar \bar bb$ and $H\ar WW$. In both cases we include…
We study the production of a W boson in association with n hard QCD jets (for n>=2), with a particular emphasis on results relevant for the Large Hadron Collider (7 TeV and 8 TeV). We present predictions for this process from High Energy…
The cross section for the reactions of the type $\mu^-\mu^+ \to e\bar\nu_e X$ can not be calculated by the standard methods due to the $t$--channel singularity in the physical region. In this letter we show that accounting for the finite…
We summarize recent measurements made at the Tevatron Collider using top event candidates. Cross section and mass measurements are discussed in a separate contribution to these Proceedings. Here we report on studies of the top P$_T$…
I present high-precision results for top quark production at hadron collider energies. Total and differential cross sections are calculated through aN$^3$LO for top-antitop pair production and through aNNLO for single-top production. Top…

The theoretical predictions in the MSSM for Higgs-boson production at a future e^+e^- Linear Collider and Higgs-boson decay processes are discussed focusing in particular on recent diagrammatic two-loop results in the MSSM Higgs sector. The…
In the framework of the littlest Higgs($LH$) model and the littlest Higgs model with T-parity($LHT$), We investigate the single top production process $e^{-}\gamma\to \nu_{e}b\bar{t}$, and calculate the corrections of these two models to…
The production of single top quarks occurs via three processes: t-channel, s-channel and tW associated production. The LHC experiments have observed single top production via t-channel at 7 TeV and measured its cross section, providing a…
Measurements of single boson production cross sections are presented. They are based on proton-proton collision data at 8 and 13 TeV recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. Inclusive and differential cross sections with respect to…
