We present a posteriori error estimates for a recently developed atomistic/continuum coupling method, the Consistent Energy-Based QC Coupling method. The error estimate of the deformation gradient combines a residual estimate and an a…
The talk contains a short introduction to mesonic Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). In addition four disparate areas where some progress has been made in recent years are discussed. These are the last fit of the order $p^4$…
The perturbative theory of the nucleation kinetics is analyzed. A new improvement is suggested and compared with numerical calculations.
This talk reports on various aspects of the divergence of perturbative expansions in the context of matching QCD onto heavy quark effective theory. Implications for exclusive and inclusive decays of heavy mesons are discussed.
Crucial information on the coupling of the Higgs boson to bottom quarks is expected from Higgs production in association with a forward tagging jet at a future high-energy lepton-proton collider. In order to control the theoretical…
Aspects of the OPE-based QCD theory of B decays are discussed. We have at least one nontrivial precision check of the OPE at the nonperturbative level in inclusive decays. The data suggest proximity to the `BPS' limit for B mesons. Its…
We present a calculation of the low energy constants describing the real and imaginary parts of the $K \to \pi \pi$ decay amplitudes $A_0$ and $A_2$. Leading and next leading order chiral perturbation theory is used and its applicability…
We use both old and new theoretical developments in QCD dispersion relation constraints on the scalar form factor in the decay K --> \pi l \nu_l to obtain constraints on the strange quark mass. The perturbative QCD side of the calculation…
A brief overview of the status of color transparency experiments is presented. We report on the first complete calculations of color transparency within a perturbative QCD framework. We also comment on the underlying factorization method…
We present a concise review of the theoretical status of the rare semileptonic B -> X_s l^+ l^- decays in the standard model. Particular attention is thereby devoted to the recent theoretical progress concerning, on the one hand the…
We discuss the current status of LHC physics from the perspective of precision theory predictions for the attendant QCD and EW higher order corrections. We focus on the interplay between the available data and the predictions for these data…
Motivated by the recent LHCb measurements of the ratios between the branching ratios (BRs), $R_{\chi_{c2}/J/\psi} \equiv {\rm BR}(B_c^+ \to \chi_{c2} \pi^+)/{\rm BR}(B_c^+ \to J/\psi \pi^+)$ and $R_{\chi_{c1}/\chi_{c2}} \equiv {\rm…
We review several aspects of the recent theoretical progress in K and B decays including the impact of the top quark discovery on rare and CP violating decays. In particular we summarize the present status of next-to-leading QCD…
The counterterm combination that describes the decay of pseudoscalar mesons into charged lepton pairs at lowest order in chiral perturbation theory is considered within the framework of QCD in the limit of a large number of colours Nc. When…
Precision tests of QCD perturbation theory are not readily available from experimental data. The main reasons are systematic uncertainties due to the confinement of quarks and gluons, as well as kinematical constraints which limit the…
Studies of hadronic final states are entering a new phase where very precise experimental measurements require better theoretical predictions for a meaningful comparison. Recent results and future developments are briefly reviewed both for…
The status of chiral perturbation theory in the meson sector is illustrated with several topical examples. The longtime discrepancy between theory and experiment for the charged pion polarizabilities has now been resolved in favour of the…
Selected applications of perturbative Quantumchromodynamics (QCD) to predictions of the Standard Model for processes at high energy colliders are reviewed with emphasis on past successes and future problems. This is a personal retrospective…
This paper is a slightly modified version of the introductory part of a doctoral dissertation that contained also three original articles, hep-ph/0212283, hep-ph/0305183 and hep-ph/0311323. Our purpose is to review the history and present…
Recent lattice studies on (semi-)leptonic kaon decays towards a precise determination of V_us are reviewed. Attention is given to recent unquenched calculations and consistency of their results with chiral perturbation theory.
