-Jettiness Soft Functions Made Simple
Luca Buonocore, Maximilian Delto, Kirill Melnikov +3
We present a new method to compute the soft function for the -Jettiness variable for arbitrary at high perturbative orders in QCD. It is based on the observation that the mo…
A perturbative framework to probe infrared sensitivity in non-Abelian gauge theories
Duarte Fontes, Dennis Horstmann, Kirill Melnikov +1
Understanding the infrared sensitivity of perturbative predictions in QCD is important for assessing the magnitude of possible non-perturbative power corrections to processes with…
Polarization structure and spin covariance of massive vector-boson amplitudes in QCD
Giuseppe De Laurentis, Kirill Melnikov, Matteo Tresoldi
Nearly thirty years ago, Bern, Dixon and Kosower computed all helicity amplitudes for the annihilation of an electron-positron pair into four QCD partons through an electroweak vec…
On the reconstruction of kinematic distributions computed with Monte Carlo methods using orthogonal basis functions
Kirill Melnikov, Ivan Novikov, Ivan Pedron
Reconstruction of one-dimensional kinematic distributions from calculations based on high-dimensional Monte-Carlo integration is a standard problem in high-energy physics. Traditio…
Integrated subtraction terms and finite remainders for arbitrary processes with massless partons at colliders in the nested soft-collinear subtraction scheme
Federica Devoto, Kirill Melnikov, Raoul Röntsch +3
We present integrated subtraction terms and finite remainders for arbitrary processes with massless partons at hadron and lepton colliders in the context of the nested soft-colline…
Integral of the double-emission eikonal function for two massive emitters at an arbitrary angle
Ming-Ming Long, Kirill Melnikov, Andrey Pikelner
We present a semi-analytic calculation of the integrated double-emission eikonal function of two massive emitters whose momenta are at an arbitrary angle to each other. This result…
