Higher Order Corrections To H± Production, Nikolaos Kidonakis
Higher Order Corrections To H± Production, Nikolaos Kidonakis
Faculty and Research Publications
I discuss recent calculations of higher-order corrections to charged Higgs production through various partonic subprocesses. Particular attention is paid to H− production in association with a top quark at the LHC.
Theoretical Top Quark Cross Section At The Fermilab Tevatron And The Cern Lhc, Nikolaos Kidonakis, Ramona Vogt
Theoretical Top Quark Cross Section At The Fermilab Tevatron And The Cern Lhc, Nikolaos Kidonakis, Ramona Vogt
Faculty and Research Publications
We present results for the top quark pair cross section at the Tevatron and the LHC. We use the resummed double differential cross section, employing the fully kinematics-dependent soft-anomalous-dimension matrices, to calculate the soft-gluon contributions at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We improve and update our previous estimates by refining our methods, including further subleading terms, and employing the most recent parton distribution function sets. The NNLO soft corrections significantly enhance the NLO cross section while considerably reducing the scale dependence. We provide a detailed discussion of all theoretical uncertainties in our calculation, including kinematics, scale, and parton distribution uncertainties, and clarify …
Higgs Production Via B Bbar -> H In Hadron Colliders, Nikolaos Kidonakis
Higgs Production Via B Bbar -> H In Hadron Colliders, Nikolaos Kidonakis
Faculty and Research Publications
I present NNNLO collinear and soft gluon corrections for Higgs production via the process b bbar -> H. I show that the collinear corrections dominate and contribute large enhancements to the cross section at both the Tevatron and the LHC.
Status Of Eikonal Two-Loop Calculations With Massive Quarks, Nikolaos Kidonakis, Philip Stephens
Status Of Eikonal Two-Loop Calculations With Massive Quarks, Nikolaos Kidonakis, Philip Stephens
Faculty and Research Publications
We present results for two-loop diagrams with massive quarks in the eikonal approximation. Explicit expressions are given for the UV poles in dimensional regularization of several of the required integrals.
