Tauonic B decays in 2HDMs and the MSSM in the decoupling limit

Andreas Crivellin

In these proceedings we review two aspects of 2HDMs with generic Yukawa structures. The first part considers how recent deviations from the SM expectations in tauonic B decays (obs…

Higgs-Boson Production at Small Transverse Momentum

Thomas Becher, Matthias Neubert, Daniel Wilhelm

Using methods from effective field theory, we have recently developed a novel, systematic framework for the calculation of the cross sections for electroweak gauge-boson production…

Lattice study of an electroweak phase transition at m_h ~ 126 GeV

M. Laine, G. Nardini, K. Rummukainen

We carry out lattice simulations of a cosmological electroweak phase transition for a Higgs mass m_h ~ 126 GeV. The analysis is based on a dimensionally reduced effective theory fo…

Roy-Steiner equations for pi N scattering

Christoph Ditsche, Martin Hoferichter, Bastian Kubis +1

Starting from hyperbolic dispersion relations for the invariant amplitudes of pion-nucleon scattering together with crossing symmetry and unitarity, one can derive a closed system…

Sommerfeld effect in heavy quark chemical equilibration

D. Bodeker, M. Laine

The chemical equilibration of heavy quarks in a quark-gluon plasma proceeds via annihilation or pair creation. For temperatures T much below the heavy quark mass M, when kineticall…

Two-loop SQCD corrections to Higgs-quark-quark couplings in the generic MSSM

Andreas Crivellin, Christoph Greub

In this article we compute the two-loop SQCD corrections to Higgs-quark-quark couplings in the generic MSSM generated by diagrams involving squarks and gluinos. We give analytic re…

Extracting the chiral anomaly from gamma pi --> pi pi

Martin Hoferichter, Bastian Kubis, Dimitrios Sakkas

We derive dispersive representations for the anomalous process gamma pi --> pi pi with the pi pi P-wave phase shift as input. We investigate how in this framework the chiral anomal…

Massive vector current correlator in thermal QCD

Y. Burnier, M. Laine

We present an NLO analysis of the massive vector current correlator at temperatures above a few hundred MeV. The physics of this correlator originates from a transport peak, relate…

NNLL Resummation for Jet Broadening

Thomas Becher, Guido Bell

The resummation for the event-shape variable jet broadening is extended to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy by computing the relevant jet and soft functions at one-loop…

Massive Boson Production at Small q_T in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory

Thomas Becher, Matthias Neubert, Daniel Wilhelm

We study the differential cross sections for electroweak gauge-boson and Higgs production at small and very small transverse-momentum q_T. Large logarithms are resummed using soft-…

A Dispersive Treatment of Decays

Gilberto Colangelo, Emilie Passemar, Peter Stoffer

Disentangling the timescales behind the non-perturbative heavy quark potential

Yannis Burnier, Alexander Rothkopf

The static part of the heavy quark potential has been shown to be closely related to the spectrum of the rectangular Wilson loop. In particular the lowest lying positive frequency…

A non-perturbative contribution to jet quenching

M. Laine

It has been argued by Caron-Huot that infrared contributions to the jet quenching parameter in hot QCD, denoted by qhat, can be extracted from an analysis of a certain static-poten…

On the factorization of chiral logarithms in the pion form factors

Gilberto Colangelo, Massimiliano Procura, Lorena Rothen +2

The recently proposed hard-pion chiral perturbation theory predicts that the leading chiral logarithms factorize with respect to the energy dependence in the chiral limit. This cla…

Fragmentation with a Cut on Thrust: Predictions for B-factories

Ambar Jain, Massimiliano Procura, Brian Shotwell +1

When high-energy single-hadron production takes place inside an identified jet, there are important correlations between the fragmentation and phase-space cuts. For example, when o…

Precision direct photon and W-boson spectra at high p_T and comparison to LHC data

Thomas Becher, Christian Lorentzen, Matthew D. Schwartz

The differential p_T spectrum for vector boson production is computed at next-to-leading fixed order and including the resummation of threshold logarithms at next-to-next-to-leadin…

Explaining B->Dτν, B->D*τνand B->τνin a 2HDM of type III

Andreas Crivellin, Christoph Greub, Ahmet Kokulu

Recently, the BaBar collaboration reported first evidence for new physics in B->Dτνand B->D*τν. Combining both processes the significance is 3.4σ. This result cannot be explained i…

Determination of alpha_s from the QCD static energy

Alexei Bazavov, Nora Brambilla, Xavier Garcia i Tormo +3

We compare lattice data for the short-distance part of the static energy in 2+1 flavor quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with perturbative calculations, up to next-to-next-to-next-to le…
