The rotation of magnetic field does not impact vacuum birefringence
Sandip Biswas, Kirill Melnikov
We study how the rotation of a classical magnetic field influences vacuum birefringence. In spite of the fact that solutions of the wave equation depend in a non-trivial way on the…
Electroweak gauge boson production at hadron colliders through O(alpha_s^2)
Kirill Melnikov, Frank Petriello
We describe a calculation of the O(alpha_s^2) QCD corrections to the fully differential cross section for W and Z boson production in hadronic collisions. The result is fully reali…
Fixed target Drell-Yan data and NNLO QCD fits of parton distribution functions
Sergey Alekhin, Kirill Melnikov, Frank Petriello
We discuss the influence of fixed target Drell-Yan data on the extraction of parton distribution functions at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD. When used in a parton dis…
On the QCD corrections to Vainshtein's theorem for VVA correlator
Kirill Melnikov
We point out that, contrary to existing claims of the opposite, Vainshtein's theorem on the non-renormalization of the correlator of an axial and two vector currents, is only valid…
Combining Monte Carlo generators with next-to-next-to-leading order calculations: event reweighting for Higgs boson production at the LHC
Giovanna Davatz, Fabian Stoeckli, Charalampos Anastasiou +4
We study a phenomenological ansatz for merging next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations with Monte Carlo event generators. We reweight them to match bin-integrated NNLO di…
The W boson production cross section at the LHC through O(alpha_s^2)
Kirill Melnikov, Frank Petriello
We compute the O(alpha_s^2) QCD corrections to the fully differential cross-section pp \to W X \to l νX, retaining all effects from spin correlations. The knowledge of these correc…
