he excess of data on the total cross section of $\bar{b}b$ production in $\gamma\gamma$ collisions over QCD predictions, observed by L3, OPAL and DELPHI Collaborations at LEP2, has so far defied explanation. The recent final analysis of L3…
We perform a detailed analysis of the total inelastic cross-section for gamma*gamma* collisions. Different contributions coming from the quark box diagram, reggeons, the soft and hard pomeron are included. The QCD pomeron contribution…
Using vector meson dominance we calculate the $\gamma\gamma$ total cross section from data on $pp$, $p\bar p$ and $\gamma p$ total cross sections. Our result agrees with recent high energy measurements performed by the L3 experiment at the…
We investigate the sensitivity of total cross sections of $e+p \rightarrow W,Z$ to CP-conserving non-standard $WW\gamma$ couplings. We include all the important production mechanisms and study the dependence of the total $W$ cross sections…
There a sizable and systematic discrepancy between experimental data on the $\bar{b}b$ production in $\bar{\mathrm p}$p, $\gamma$p and $\gamma\gamma$ collisions and existing theoretical calculations within perturbative QCD. Before…
The Standard Model predictions for $W\gamma$ and $Z\gamma$ production are tested using an integrated luminosity of 200 pb$^{-1}$ of \ppbar collision data collected at the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The cross sections are measured…
Recent results on total cross-section measurements in gamma-gamma and gamma*-gamma* collisions at LEP are reported. Phenomenological fits to the data are presented.
The rapid increase of the e+e- --> W+W- cross section in the threshold region provides a method for measuring M(W) at LEP2. The dependence of the theoretical cross section -- including the effects of the finite W width, Coulomb interactions…
We calculate the total cross-section for $\gamma^* \gamma^*$ collisions and for the process $e^+ e^- \to e^+ e^- + hadrons$ with two tagged leptons assuming dominance of the QCD pomeron exchange. We solve the BFKL equation including the…
The predictions for transition form factors $\gamma^*\to \gamma f_2(1270)$ and $\gamma^*\to \gamma a_2(1320)$ and corresponding $e^+e^-\to \gamma^*\to f_2\gamma$ and $e^+e^-\to \gamma^*\to a_2\gamma$ cross sections are obtained for the…
The production of $\nu \bar{\nu} \gamma \gamma$ in high-energy $e^+e^-$ collisions offers a window on anomalous quartic gauge boson couplings. We investigate the effect of two possible anomalous couplings on the cross section for $\nu…
A forward amplitude analysis on $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ elastic scattering above 5 GeV is presented. The dataset includes the recent high-precision TOTEM measurements of the $pp$ total and elastic (integrated) cross-sections at 7 TeV and 8 TeV.…
In recent years, we used lattice QCD to calculate some quantities that were unknown or poorly known. They are the $q^2$ dependence of the form factor in semileptonic $D\to Kl\nu$ decay, the leptonic decay constants of the $D^+$ and $D_s$…
Recent measurements of the proton-proton total cross section $\sigma_{tot}$ at 7 and 8 TeV by the TOTEM and ATLAS Collaborations are characterized by some discrepant values: the TOTEM data suggest a rise of the cross section with the energy…
The total $\gamma^*\gamma^*$ cross-section is derived in the Leading Order QCD dipole picture of BFKL dynamics, and compared with the one from 2-gluon exchange. The Double Leading Logarithm approximation of the DGLAP cross-section is found…
In this note we assess the validity and uncertainties in the predictions of the eikonalised mini-jet model for $\sigma^{inel}_{\gamma \gamma}$. We are able to find a choice of parameters where the predictions are compatible with the current…
Using data corresponding to 6.0/fb of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV collected by the CDF II detector, we present a cross section measurement of top-quark pair production with an additional radiated photon. The events are selected…
We show that the rising total cross section $\sigma(\gamma\gamma \to hadrons)$ recently observed by the L3 and OPAL Collaborations at LEP are fully consistent with the impact-picture for high-energy scattering. The impact picture is then…
We study the $\gamma^* \gamma^*$ total cross section in the NLA BFKL approach. We have extracted the NLO corrections to the photon impact factor from two recent papers of Balitsky and Chirilli and Chirilli and Kovchegov and used them to…
A measurement of the cross-section for $W \to e\nu$ production in $pp$ collisions is presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $2\,$fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of…
