We present a new subtraction scheme, where the subtraction terms have been derived from an improved shower algorithm including quantum interferences. We discuss recent progress in the development of the scheme and show several examples, where the scheme has been applied to processes at lepton and hadron colliders.

The Matrix element method (MEM) is a widely used tool in experimental analyses since it optimizes the maximal theoretical information (from the Matrix element) and combines this in a meaningful way with detector effects to obtain a likelihood that a particular experimental data set is described by an underlying theoretical model. Most famously the MEM was used in the discovery of the top quark...

W-boson pair production has been studied extensively during the LEP era
and has led to a precise determination of the W-mass, width and its
couplings. At the LHC, vector-boson pair production will be of similar
importance. Due to the high energies accessable at the LHC, combined
with high luminosity, the process is a perfect candidate to probe the
non-Abelian structure of the Standard...

We present a formalism for the systematic resummation of a class of logarithms relevant for jet observables in QCD. The logarithms are associated with the rapidities of factorized partons (which are either soft or collinear to specified directions) diverging under certain phase space constraints. The resummation is necessary for a consistent formulation of the perturbation series, and cannot...

We present predictions of the total production cross sections of pairs of squarks and gluinos at the LHC, which incorporate a combined resummation of soft logarithms and Coulomb singularities, including bound-state contributions. These terms dominate the threshold region of the partonic cross section and are resummed directly in momentum space using an effective-theory framework based on SCET...
