Reweighting NNPDFs: the W lepton asymmetry

The NNPDF Collaboration, Richard D. Ball, Valerio Bertone +7

We present a method for incorporating the information contained in new datasets into an existing set of parton distribution functions without the need for refitting. The method inv…

NLO QCD corrections to production with leptonic decays

G. Bozzi, F. Campanario, M. Rauch +2

We present a computation of the O(alpha_s) QCD corrections to W^\pm Z γproduction at the Large Hadron Collider. The photon is considered as real, and we include full leptonic decay…

Jet Reconstruction in Heavy Ion Collisions

Matteo Cacciari, Juan Rojo, Gavin P. Salam +1

We examine the problem of jet reconstruction at heavy-ion colliders using jet-area-based background subtraction tools as provided by FastJet. We use Monte Carlo simulations with an…

Small x resummation of rapidity distributions: the case of Higgs production

Fabrizio Caola, Stefano Forte, Simone Marzani

We provide a method for the all order computation of small x contributions at the leading logarithmic level to cross-sections which are differential in rapidity. The method is base…

Feynman rules for the rational part of the Electroweak 1-loop amplitudes in the R_xi gauge and in the Unitary gauge

M. V. Garzelli, I. Malamos, R. Pittau

We present the complete set of Feynman rules producing the rational terms of kind R_2 needed to perform any 1-loop calculation in the Electroweak Standard Model. Our formulae are g…

Soft gluon resummation of Drell-Yan rapidity distributions: theory and phenomenology

Marco Bonvini, Stefano Forte, Giovanni Ridolfi

We examine critically the theoretical underpinnings and phenomenological implications of soft gluon (threshold) resummation of rapidity distributions at a hadron collider, taking D…

NLO QCD calculations with HELAC-NLO

G. Bevilacqua, M. Czakon, M. V. Garzelli +5

Achieving a precise description of multi-parton final states is crucial for many analyses at LHC. In this contribution we review the main features of the HELAC-NLO system for NLO Q…

On the Generalized Harmonic Polylogarithms of One Complex Variable

R. Bonciani, G. Degrassi, A. Vicini

We describe how to compute numerically in the complex plain a set of Generalized Harmonic Polylogarithms (GHPLs) with square roots in the weights, using the C++/GiNaC numerical rou…

HERA data and DGLAP evolution: theory and phenomenology

Fabrizio Caola, Stefano Forte, Juan Rojo

We examine critically the evidence for deviations from next-to-leading order perturbative DGLAP evolution in HERA data. We briefly review the status of perturbative small-x resumma…

Production of Drell--Yan lepton pairs in hadron collisions: transverse-momentum resummation at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy

G. Bozzi, S. Catani, G. Ferrera +2

We consider the transverse-momentum (q_T) distribution of Drell--Yan lepton pairs produced in hadron collisions. At small values of q_T, we resum the logarithmically-enhanced pertu…

High energy resummation of direct photon production at hadronic colliders

Giovanni Diana, Juan Rojo, Richard D. Ball

Direct photon production is an important process at hadron colliders, being relevant both for precision measurement of the gluon density, and as background to Higgs and other new p…

The impact of PDF and alphas uncertainties on Higgs Production in gluon fusion at hadron colliders

Federico Demartin, Stefano Forte, Elisa Mariani +2

We present a systematic study of uncertainties due to parton distributions and the strong coupling on the gluon-fusion production cross section of the Standard Model Higgs at the T…
