Radiative QCD corrections significantly influence the theoretical predictions for the decay rates of the $Z$ and the Higgs boson. The status of the QCD calculations to the hadronic $Z$ width is reviewed. The role of mass corrections from…

We compute the primary Lund plane density for jets initiated by a massive ($b$) quark to single logarithmic accuracy in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). In order to capture mass effects, we consider quasi-collinear factorisation and we include…

Cross sections and differential distributions for ZA production in association with two jets via vector boson fusion are presented at next-to-leading order in QCD. The leptonic decays of the Z boson with full off-shell effects and spin…

We study the production of a Standard Model Higgs boson in the gluon-fusion channel at the 13 TeV LHC. Our results are accurate to the next-to-leading order in QCD, bar for the lack of some two-loop amplitudes, for up to two extra jets and…

We study multiple scatterings of jets on constituents of quark gluon plasma and introduce energy--energy correlations to quantify their effects. The effects from a longitudinally expanding plasma on medium as well as high energy jets are…

Mass measurements of objects that decay into hadronic jets, such as the top quark, are shown to be improved by using a variant of the $k_t$ jet algorithm in place of standard cone algorithms. The possibility and importance of better…

The mass of the top quark is measured using a sample of $\mathrm{t\overline{t}}$ events collected by the CMS detector using proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV at the CERN LHC. Events are selected with one isolated muon or…

We investigate the effects produced by the three-momentum scale $\sqrt{m\Lambda_{QCD}}$ in the strong coupling regime of heavy quarkonium. We compute the leading non-vanishing contributions due to this scale to the masses and inclusive…

We compute the differential and total rate of the semileptonic decay of polarized top-quarks $t\to \ell \nu_\ell + b{\rm jet} + {\rm jet}$ at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the QCD coupling with an off-shell intermediate $W$ boson. We…

We report on the calculation of the NLO QCD corrections to top quark pair production in association with two hard jets at the LHC. We take into account higher-order effects in both the production and decays of the top-quark pair. The latter…

High-energy jets offer rich opportunities to study quantum chromodynamics, from investigating the limits of perturbative calculability to constraining the emergent properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). In these proceedings, we present…

The influence of nonvanishing quark masses on the total cross section in electron positron collisions and on the $Z$ decay rate is calculated. The corrections are expanded in $m^2/s$ and $\as$. Methods similar to those applied for the…

The evolution of a heavy quark initiated jet is mainly ruled by gluon bremsstrahlung. As a consequence of the dead-cone effect, this radiation is suppressed in the forward direction at angles smaller than that proportional to the heavy…

We present the calculation of the inclusive jet function for highly energetic heavy quarks at order $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^3)$ using boosted Heavy-Quark Effective Theory (bHQET). This jet function describes the effect of collinear radiation…

A measurement is reported of the jet mass distribution in hadronic decays of boosted top quarks produced in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated…

The first computation of Higgs production in association with three jets at NLO in QCD has recently been performed using the effective theory, where the top quark is treated as an infinitely heavy particle and integrated out. This approach…

Double parton distributions can be computed from the perturbative splitting of one parton into two if the distance between the two observed partons is small. We develop schemes to take into account quark mass effects in this computation,…

For top quark decays into heavy quark mesons $\Upsilon$ and $\bar{B}_c^*$ , a complete calculation to the leading order both in QCD coupling constant $\alpha_s$ and in $v$, the typical velocity of the heavy quarks inside the mesons, is…

The results of perturbative QCD evaluation of the ~m_f^2/M_Z^2 contributions to the decay rates in Z--->bb and Z--->hadrons for the quark masses m_f << M_Z are presented. The recent results due to the combination of renormalization group…

A search has been made for massive resonances decaying into a quark and a vector boson, qW or qZ, or a pair of vector bosons, WW, WZ, or ZZ, where each vector boson decays to hadronic final states. This search is based on a data sample…
