The standard NRQCD power counting breaks down and the OPE gives rise to color-octet shape functions at the upper endpoint of the photon energy spectrum in radiative Upsilon decay. Also in this kinematic regime, large Sudakov logarithms…
The production of two isolated photons in high-energy hadron collisions poses a challenge to perturbative QCD because of large corrections through next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We present novel next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order…
We present a calculation of next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD corrections to total hadronic production cross sections and to light-hadron-decay rates of heavy quarkonium states. Both colour-singlet and colour-octet contributions are included.…
An algorithm for an improved description of final-state QCD radiation is introduced. It is matched to the first-order matrix elements for gluon emission in a host of decays, for processes within the Standard Model and the Minimal…
We update the study of the QCD corrections to direct J/psi and Upsilon hadroproduction in association with a photon in the QCD-based approach of the Colour-Singlet (CS) Model. After comparison with the recent full next-to-leading-order…
For precision studies with QCD observables at colliders, higher order perturbative corrections are often mandatory. For exclusive observables, like jet cross sections or differential distributions, these corrections were until recently only…
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…
A systematic gauge-invariant method is used to calculate the rate for an upsilon meson to decay inclusively into a prompt photon. An expansion is made in the quark relative velocity v, which is a small natural parameter for heavy quark…
We improve the theoretical predictions for the decays of the Higgs boson to an $S$-wave vector quarkonium plus a photon by calculating the relativistic correction of order $v^2$, where $v$ is the heavy-quark velocity in the quarkonium rest…
We present a theoretical prediction for the photon spectrum in radiative Upsilon decay. Parts of the spectrum have already been understood, but an understanding of the endpoint region has remained elusive. In this paper we provide the…
A substantial enhancement is found of the $b \to c\,{\overline c}\, s$ decay rate due to the QCD interaction within the $\overline c s$ pair, which enhancement may amount to 30\%, or more. Some general features of calculation of the QCD…
The decay widths of top quark to S-wave $b\bar{c}$ and $b\bar{b}$ bound states are evaluated at the next-to-leading(NLO) accuracy in strong interaction. Numerical calculation shows that the NLO corrections to these processes are remarkable.…
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…
Radiative corrections are crucial for modern high-precision physics experiments, and are an area of active research in the experimental and theoretical community. Here we provide an overview of the state of the field of radiative…
We review the current status of the high order perturbative QCD evaluation of the hadronic decay rates of the Z and Higgs bosons. A systematic classification of the various types of QCD corrections to $O(\alpha_s^2)$ and $O(\alpha_s^3)$ is…
We provide a pedagogical introduction to the subject of Standard Model decays of unpolarized top quarks into unpolarized and polarized $W$-bosons including their QCD and electroweak radiative corrections.
We review the status of radiative corrections to the decay rates of the Standard-Model Higgs boson in the mass range accessible at LEP~2. Specifically, we consider corrections of ${\cal O}(\alpha)$, ${\cal O}(\alpha_sG_Fm_t^2)$, and ${\cal…
The radiative decays of decuplet to octet baryons are analyzed within the light cone QCD sum rules framework.The electromagnetic transition form factors for these decays are calculated up to twist four accuracy for photon wave functions as…
Radiative decays of bottomonium are revisited, focusing on contributions from higher-order relativistic effects. The leading relativistic correction to the magnetic spin-flip operator at the photon vertex is found to be particularly…
I review the recent work on obtaining precise estimates of higher-order corrections in QCD and field theory.
