Our research is in theoretical particle physics. We are interested in high-energy collider phenomenology, perturbative loop calculations, searches for physics beyond the Standard Model and the phenomenology of the Standard Model, the physics of heavy quarks (bottom, top), CP violation, strong interaction physics and some aspects of cosmology/dark matter.
Journal of High Energy Physics
Abstract: A long-standing problem concerns the question how to consistently combine perturbative expansions in QCD with power corrections in the context of the operator product expansion (OPE), since the former…
Journal of High Energy Physics
Abstract: We provide a detailed account of the methods and calculations for the third-order corrections to the S-wave Green function from heavy-quark potentials other than the Coulomb potential. The results of…
Journal of High Energy Physics
Abstract: This is the first in a series of two papers, in which we compute the third-order QCD corrections to top-antitop production near threshold in e+e− collisions. The present paper provides a detailed…
Journal of High Energy Physics
Abstract: We renormalize the soft function entering the factorization and resummation of the qg parton-scattering channel of the Drell-Yan process near the kinematic threshold ŝ → Q2 at next-to-leading power in…
Journal of High Energy Physics
Abstract: We investigate the formation of bound states of non-relativistic dark matter particles subject to long-range interactions through radiative capture. The initial scattering and final bound states are…
Journal of High Energy Physics
Abstract: We calculate directly in position space the one-loop renormalization kernels of the soft operators Oγ and Og that appear in the soft-quark contributions to, respectively, the subleading-power γγ → h…
Journal of High Energy Physics
Abstract: The non-observation of baryon number violation suggests that the scale of baryon-number violating interactions at zero temperature is comparable to the GUT scale. However, the pertinent measurements…
Physica Scripta
Abstract: The inverted pendulum is a mechanical system with a rapidly oscillating pivot point. Using techniques similar in spirit to the methodology of effective field theories, we derive an effective…
Journal of High Energy Physics
Abstract: The calculation of loop corrections to the correlation functions of quantum fields during inflation or in the de Sitter background presents greater challenges than in flat space due to the more…
Proceedings of Science
Abstract: The inconsistency between the fixed-order (FO) and contour-improved (CI) representation of the QCD corrections to the inclusive hadronic tau decay width limits the precision to which the strong…
