We consider the production of a Z boson decaying to leptons in association with a bottom-quark pair in hadronic collisions. For the first time, we compute predictions at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD, and we combine them with…
We calculate the production of a W boson in association with up to two jets including at least one b-jet to next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD at the CERN Large Hadron Collider with 7 TeV center-of-mass energy. Both exclusive and inclusive…
We have calculated the leading and next-to-leading logarithm coefficients of $O(\alpha_s^2)$ $e^+e^-$ annihilation jet cross sections, thrust distribution and energy-energy correlation in the two-jet limit when the jet resolution and the…
We study jet final states in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering. We present the QCD factorization formula in terms of diffractive parton distributions and discuss its implementation in NLO Monte Carlo generators. We compute NLO…
Deep-inelastic ep scattering data, taken with the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA, are used to study the means and distributions of the event shape variables thrust, jet broadening, jet mass, C-parameter and two kinds of differential two-jet…
We study the effect of scheme dependence upon the NLO QCD analysis of the world data on polarized DIS. The reliability of an analysis at NLO is demonstrated by the consistency of our polarized densities with the NLO transformation rules…
We construct jet observables for energetic top quarks that can be used to determine a short distance top quark mass from reconstruction in e+ e- collisions with accuracy better than Lambda_{QCD}. Using a sequence of effective field theories…
Recent progress on the study of power corrections applied to event shape variables in deep inelastic ep scattering is discussed.
Recent discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental data in multi-lepton plus $b$-jets analyses for the $t\bar{t}W^\pm$ process, as reported by the ATLAS collaboration, have indicated that more accurate theoretical…
The production of the three jets in hadron-hardon collision is the first more complex process which allow us to define a branch of variables in order to do more precise measurement of the strong coupling and the parton distribution function…
We compare fixed order and parton shower matched predictions for the process ${pp\rightarrow \ell^+\nu_{\ell} \ell^-\bar{\nu}_{\ell} \ell^{\pm}{\nu}_{\ell} b\bar{b}+X}$ at NLO in QCD, including the orders $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^3\alpha^6)$…
We present a new general algorithm for calculating arbitrary jet cross sections in arbitrary scattering processes to next-to-leading accuracy in perturbative QCD. The algorithm is based on the subtraction method. The key ingredients are new…
Events with a (2+1) jet topology in deep-inelastic scattering at HERA are studied in the kinematic range 200 < Q^2< 10,000 GeV^2. The rate of (2+1) jet events has been determined with the modified JADE jet algorithm as a function of the jet…
We present the CoLoRFulNNLO method to compute higher order radiative corrections to jet cross sections in perturbative QCD. We apply our method to the computation of event shape observables in electron-positron collisions at NNLO accuracy…
We present a novel method for sorting events. So far, single variables like flow vector magnitude were used for sorting events. Our approach takes into account the whole azimuthal angle distribution rather than a single variable. This…
In quark-antiquark pair production at LEP, many features of the hadronic final state can be predicted by QCD. Using data collected by the OPAL experiment, we present the statistical distributions of fourteen "event shape observables," which…
The production of jets in charged-current deep-inelastic scattering (CC DIS) probes simultaneously the strong and the electroweak sectors of the Standard Model; its measurement provides important information on the quark flavour structure…
In this article, we present a method to calculate a posteriori event weights at next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD accuracy for a given jet event defined by the (anti-)$k_t$ algorithm relying on the conventional $2\to 1$ recombination. This is…
The choice of optimal event variables is crucial for achieving the maximal sensitivity of experimental analyses. Over time, physicists have derived suitable kinematic variables for many typical event topologies in collider physics. Here we…
I discuss the recent advances in the computation of two-loop scattering amplitudes for five-particle processes. The latter are fundamental ingredients to obtain predictions at the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD for many…
