Extracting infrared QCD coupling from meson spectrum

M. Baldicchi, G. M. Prosperi, C. Simolo

In the framework of the Bethe-Salpeter formalism used in previous papers to evaluate the quarkonium spectrum, here we reverse the point of view to extract an ``experimental'' runni…

Analytic Results for Virtual QCD Corrections to Higgs Production and Decay

U. Aglietti, R. Bonciani, G. Degrassi +1

We consider the production of a Higgs boson via gluon-fusion and its decay into two photons. We compute the NLO virtual QCD corrections to these processes in a general framework in…

Gauge boson families in grand unified theories of fermion masses: E_6^4 x S_4

Francesco Caravaglios, Stefano Morisi

In third quantization the origin of fermion families is easy to understand: the electron field, the muon field and the tau field are identical fields in precisely the same sense as…

Electroweak corrections to the charged current Drell-Yan process

C. M. Carloni Calame, G. Montagna, O. Nicrosini +1

A concise review about the status of the calculation of radiative corrections to the Drell-Yan processes is presented. The effect of matching together exact electroweak O(alpha) co…

The logarithmic contribution to the QCD static energy at NNNNLO

Nora Brambilla, Xavier Garcia i Tormo, Joan Soto +1

Using pNRQCD and known results for the field strength correlator, we calculate the ultrasoft contribution to the QCD static energy of a quark-antiquark pair at short distances at N…

Threshold resummation of Drell-Yan rapidity distributions

Paolo Bolzoni

We present a derivation of the threshold resummation formula for the Drell-Yan rapidity distribution. Our argument is valid for all values of rapidity and to all orders in perturba…

Neural network determination of the non-singlet quark distribution

Andrea Piccione, Joan Rojo

We summarize the main features of our approach to parton fitting, and we show a preliminary result for the non-singlet structure function. When comparing our result to other PDF se…

On the running coupling constant in QCD

G. M. Prosperi, M. Raciti, C. Simolo

We try to review the main current ideas and points of view on the running coupling constant in QCD. We begin by recalling briefly the classic analysis based on the Renormalization…

How Resummation Depresses the Gluon at Small x

Stefano Forte, Guido Altarelli, Richard D. Ball

We summarize recent progress in the resummation of perturbative evolution at small x. We show that the problem of incorporating BFKL small x logs in GLAP evolution is now completel…

Infrared safe definition of jet flavour

Gavin P. Salam

Though it is widely taken for granted that it makes sense to separately discuss quark and gluon jets, normal jet algorithms lead to a net parton-level jet flavour that is infrared…

The leading non-perturbative coefficient in the weak-coupling expansion of hot QCD pressure

F. Di Renzo, M. Laine, V. Miccio +2

Using Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory within three-dimensional pure SU(3) gauge theory, we estimate the last unknown renormalization constant that is needed for converting…
