This work is an extension of a previous publication [1] where we fitted the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ together with the non-perturbative parameter $\alpha_0$ from event-shape and jet-shape distributions using power corrections computed in…
The purely electroweak process $qq\to qqZ$ (via $t$-channel $\gamma/Z$ or $W$ exchange) provides a copious and fairly clean source of color-singlet exchange events in $pp$ collisions at the LHC. A judicious choice of phase-space region…
We consider the back-to-back region in the energy--energy correlation in e^+e^- collisions. We present the explicit expression of the O(as^2) logarithmically enhanced contributions up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. We…
Analyses of jet production at HERA have become precise enough to perform QCD studies which are both competitive and complementary to those at e+e- and p-pbar colliders. This report summarises some of the latest results on jet physics from…
I will discuss, in a concise way, the main objectives of QCD studies at LEP 2.
Di-jet production is studied in collisions of quasi-real photons radiated by the LEP beams at e+e- centre-of-mass energies 161 and 172 GeV. The jets are reconstructed using a cone jet finding algorithm. The angular distributions of direct…
Almost all precision electroweak measurements from the Z resonance made at the LEP storage ring by the ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL experiments and those made using a polarized electron beam at the SLC by the SLD experiment are now final and…
The structure of three-jet e+e- -> b bbar g events has been studied using hadronic Z0 decays recorded in the SLD experiment at SLAC. Three-jet final states were selected and the CCD-based vertex detector was used to identify two of the jets…
We present the first determination of the strong coupling constant from the three-jet rate in e+e- annihilation at LEP, based on a next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) perturbative QCD prediction. More precisely, we extract alpha_s by…
Jet production in electron-proton collisions at HERA provides a unique testing ground for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Apart from the determination of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$, ep jet data may especially be used to gain…
Hard QCD results in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with jets from data recorded up to the end of 2010 by the CMS and ATLAS experiments at the LHC are reported. Inclusive jet and di-jet cross section measurements as well as…
A detailed study of various two-particle correlation functions involving photons and neutral pions is presented in proton-proton and lead-lead collisions at the LHC energy. The aim is to use these correlation functions to quantify the…
It has already been shown that the energy flow distributions in tagged events disagree with those predicted by QCD models, generating serious systematic errors in the unfolding of the photon structure function $F_{2}^{\gamma}$. This new…
D0 has used W -> e nu events produced in association with a high $p_T$ jet to examine the effects of strong radiative corrections. We have compared the primary jet pseudorapidity distribution, as a function of reconstructed W rapidity to…
We report next-to-leading order perturbative QCD predictions of 4 jet event shape variables for the process e+e- \to 4 jets obtained using the general purpose Monte Carlo EERAD2. This program is based on the known `squared' one loop matrix…
Infrared and collinear safe event shape distributions and their mean values are determined in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 45 and 202 GeV. A phenomenological analysis based on power correction models including hadron…
A study of W+W- events accomanied by hard photon radiation produced in e+e- collisions at LEP is presented. Events consistent with being two on-shell W bosons and an isolated photon are selected from 681 pb^-1 of data recorded at 180 GeV <…
In this talk we discuss the calculation of the QCD corrections to parity-violating 3-jet observables in e^+e^- collisions, keeping the full quark mass dependence.
We present a method for a common treatment of $Z'$ exchange, QED corrections, and weak loops in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation. QED corrections are taken into account by convoluting a hard-scattering cross section containing $\gamma,\ Z,$ and $Z'$…
Event-shape variables, which are sensitive to perturbative and nonperturbative aspects of quantum chromodynamic (QCD) interactions, are studied in multijet events recorded in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. Events are selected…
