The search for new physics in single- and multi-photon final states with large missing energy at LEP and future e^+ e^- colliders requires precise predictions for the Standard Model irreducible background. While at LEP1 the theoretical…
We consider electroweak (EW) virtual corrections to $2\to 2$ fermion scattering processes mediated by a vector boson $V$ ($V=W^\pm,Z$) in the pole approximation. As is well known, the computation can be organised into factorisable and…
In these lecture notes the basics of QED corrections to hadronic decays are reviewed with special emphasis on conceptual (e.g. counting and tracking of infrared sensitive logs) rather than numerical aspects. General matters are illustrated…
Studies of hadronic final states of $e^+e^-$ annihilations, observed at the Large Electron Positron Collider LEP at CERN, are reviewed. The topics included cover measurements of $\alpha_s$, hadronic event shapes and hadronisation studies,…
We briefly describe the RacoonWW approach to calculate radiative corrections to e+ e- -> W W -> 4 fermions and present numerical results for the total W-pair production cross section at LEP2.
Recently the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections and the electroweak O(alpha) corrections to the Higgs-strahlung processes ppbar/pp -> WH/ZH + X have been calculated. Both types of corrections are of the order of 5-10%. In this…
We review in some detail the QCD corrections to the measurement of the forward-backward charge asymmetry of heavy quarks in the $\mathrm{e^+e^-\rightarrow Q\overline{Q}(g)}$ process at the Z pole. We show that the size of these corrections…
First numerical results of the Monte Carlo generator RACOONWW for e+e- --> WW --> 4fermions(+gamma) in the electroweak Standard Model are presented. This event generator is the first one that includes O(alpha) electroweak radiative…
The most interesting theoretical features of W-pair production in e+e- collisions are reviewed. Based on an analysis of on-shell W-pairs, it is shown that the mere inclusion of leading $O(\alpha)$ corrections--such as initial-state…
We present analytic results for electroweak precision observables (EWPO) at next-to-leading order (NLO) in dimension-six SMEFT, with no assumptions on the flavour structure of SMEFT Wilson coefficients. The results are given in five…
We present a next-to-leading order QCD calculation for e+ nu_e mu+ nu_mu jj and e- nubar_e mu- nubar_mu jj production via weak boson fusion at a hadron collider in the form of a fully-flexible parton-level Monte Carlo program, which allows…
We propose and discuss a numerical use of our previous precision results for the radiative corrections to unpolarized spin one-half baryon semileptonic decays, which is not compromised to fixing the form factors at prescribed values. We…
Energy flow distributions from tagged $\gamma\gamma$ events generated with HERWIG are presented for $E_{beam} = 45.6$ GeV (LEP1) and $E_{beam} = 175$ GeV (top-quark threshold at a future e^+e^- Linear Collider). They have very similar…
Building on earlier work, the dipole subtraction formalism for photonic corrections is extended to various photon--fermion splittings where the resulting collinear singularities lead to corrections that are enhanced by logarithms of small…
We present numerical results for total cross sections and various distributions for e+e- --> WW --> 4f(+gamma) at a future 500GeV linear collider, obtained from the Monte Carlo generator RACOONWW. This generator is the first one that…
The process e+e- to nu barnu + gamma with a distinctive ``photon-plus-missing-energy'' signal can serve as an important tool to search for new physics at LEP2. It can be exploited to measure the WW gamma coupling, or to search for weakly…
The forward-backward (FB) asymmetry of $b$ quarks in $e^+e^-$ collisions at the Z pole measured at LEP, $A_\text{FB}^{0,b} = 0.0992\pm0.0016$, remains today one of the electroweak precision observables with the largest disagreement…
We have recently calculated the second-order QCD corrections to the forward-backward asymmetry in e+e- annihilation (hep-ph/9905424). Here we recall the results and compare them to others in the literature.
Recently, the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) electroweak corrections with fermion loops to the Higgsstrahling process were computed. Here we present numerical results for polarized electron/positron beams, as well as for two input…
This paper studies the electroweak production of all possible four-fermion states in $e^+e^-$ collisions with non-standard triple gauge boson couplings. All $CP$ conserving couplings are considered. It is an extension of the methods and…
