We study $O(\alpha_sv^2)$ corrections to decays of $^1S_0$ heavy quarkonium into light hadrons and two photons within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, and find these $O(\alpha_sv^2)$ corrections to have significant contributions…
The intrinsic decay rate of orthopositronium formed in ${\rm SiO_2}$ powder is measured using the direct $2\gamma$ correction method such that the time dependence of the pick-off annihilation rate is precisely determined. The decay rate of…
A kind of asymptotic expansion for calculation of the (para)positronium decay rate is formulated. The method is completely relativistic and gauge invariant. The expansion goes over the inverse square of relative momentum $k$ of two photons…
Positronium is an ideal system for the research of the bound state QED. New precise measurement of orthopositronium decay rate has been performed with an accuracy of 150 ppm, and the result combined with the last three is 7.0401 +- 0.0007…
QED gauge invariance, when combined with analyticity, leads to constraints on the low energy end of the emitted photon spectra. This is known as Low's theorem. It is shown that the Ore-Powell result, as well as further developments for the…
In view of the recent interest in the decays of mesons into a pair of light leptons, a computation of the QED radiative corrections to the decay of $\pi^{0}$ into an electron-positron pair is presented here. The results indicate that the…
Rates of the two-, three-, four- and five-photon annihilations of the electron-positron pairs are determined numerically for the three-body positronium ion Ps$^-$ ($e^- e^+ e^-$) and four-body bi-positronium `molecule' Ps$_2$ ($e^- e^+ e^-…
Recently, the O(alpha) and O(alpha^3 ln(alpha)) radiative corrections to the orthopositronium lifetime have been presented in closed analytical form, in terms of basic irrational numbers that can be evaluated numerically to arbitrary…
We consider some radiative corrections to the lowest order annihilation diagram for the orthopositronium decay rate. The insertion of the renormalized vertex correction in the annihilation graph gives $1.6283 (\alpha/\pi)^2 \Gamma_0$. We…
Recent and ongoing experimental work on the positronium spectrum motivates new efforts to calculate positronium energy levels at the level of three loop corrections. We have obtained results for one set of such corrections involving…
The QCD correction of $O(\alpha_s^2)$ to the decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson into two photons is presented. We consider the contribution coming from diagrams with a heavy top quark as virtual particle. The first three terms of the…
Positronium decay rates are computed at the one-loop level, using convolution-type factorized amplitudes. The dynamics of this factorization is probed with dispersion relations, showing that unallowed approximations are usually made, and…
Currently, the experimental uncertainty for the determination of the ortho-positronium (o-Ps) decay rate is at 150 ppm precision; this is two orders of magnitude lower than the theoretical one, at 1 ppm level. Here we propose a new proof of…
We present the result for the three-loop singlet QCD corrections to the decay of a Higgs boson into two photons and improve the calculation for the non-singlet case. With the new result presented, the decay width Gamma(H -> \gamma \gamma)…
In this paper, we calculate the decay widths and branching fractions for the decays $Z \to H+ \gamma$ up to ${\cal O}(\alpha_{s} v^2)$ accuracy within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, where $H$ stands for the $S$-wave quarkonium…
We investigate the $O(\alpha_s v^2)$ correction to the process of pseudoscalar quarkonium decay to two photons in nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization framework. The short-distance coefficient associated with the relative-order $v^2$…
The two--loop ${\cal O}(\alpha_s G_F m_t^2)$ corrections to the $b\bar b$ decay rate of the Standard Model Higgs boson as well as its production via $e^+e^- \to ZH$ will be presented. These QCD corrections are obtained by using a low-energy…
I consider the problem of the evaluation of the orthopositronium decay rate, including second order radiative corrections. I present a brief theoretical discussion of this problem and a review of the results available in literature, and,…
We compute the two-loop corrections of O(alpha_s^2) to the Yukawa couplings in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The calculation is performed using the effective Lagrangian approach under the approximation…
A hard three-loop correction to parapositronium energy levels of order $m\alpha^7$ is calculated. This nonlogarithmic contribution is due to the insertions of one-loop photon propagator in the fermion lines in the diagrams with virtual…
