Oral presentation
The BABAR Collaboration has an intensive program studying hadronic
cross sections at low-energy e+e- annihilations, accessible via initial-state radiation.
These measurements allow significant improvements in the precision of the predicted
value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment. We report here the results of
recent studies on a number of final states, as e+e- -> K+K-, e+e- -> K0S...

Oral presentation
Measurements of jet production are sensitive to the strong coupling constant, next-to-leading order perturbative calculations and parton distribution functions. The measurements are obtained using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.5 fb โ1, recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2011. Cross sections are measured up to 5 TeV dijet mass using jets reconstructed with the anti-kt...

We present CMS results related to jet production cross sections, which pose a central test to perturbative QCD predictions. Results include recent jet, dijet, multijet differential cross section and hadronic event shape measurements performed with 2011 data taken at center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and 2012 data taken at 8 TeV.

The photoproduction of isolated photons, both inclusive and
together with a jet, has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA
using an integrated luminosity of $374\, \mathrm{pb}^{-1}$.
Differential cross sections are presented in the isolated-photon
transverse-energy and pseudorapidity ranges $6 < E_T^{\gamma} <

The ZEUS Collaboration present further measurements of prompt photons produced with jets in photoproduction, studying a variety of kinematic variables that are sensitive to different aspects of the event dynamics. Cross sections are given in terms of the collinearity of the photon and the jet, the fraction of the proton energy involved in the interaction, and the pseudorapidity difference...

The large centre-of-mass energy available at the proton-proton collider LHC allows for the copious
production of top quark pairs in association with other final state particles at high transverse momentum.
The ATLAS experiment has measured several final state observables that are sensitive to additional parton
radiation in top anti-top quark final states. Examples are the multiplicity of...

Measurement of the transverse momentum of the Z boson performed by the ATLAS collaboration is
reported for sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The measurement is sensitive to soft resummation
effects for small momentum transfers and to multiple hard jet
emissions for large momentum transfers, probing QCD in a unique
way. The data are used to tune NLO plus parton shower Monte Carlo simulations.

The production cross section of highly boosted vector bosons (V = W, Z or ฮณ) recoiling against jets is studied, with CMS data, differentially as function of the transverse momentum and angular correlations of the final state particles. The measurements are confronted with different state-of-the-art theory predictions that include next-to-leading order calculations and matrix-element plus...

Charged particle multiplicities are studied in proton-proton collisions in the forward region at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with data collected in 2010 by the LHCb experiment. The forward spectrometer allows access to a kinematic range of 2.0 < eta < 4.8 in pseudorapidity, momenta down to 2 GeV/c and transverse momenta down to 0.2 GeV/c. The results are presented as functions...

We compare results of exact calculations of single-parton scattering (SPS)
and double-parton scattering (DPS) for production of
$c \bar c c \bar c$ and for $D-D$ meson correlations [1]. Each step of DPS is
calculated within $k_t$-factorization approach, i.e. effectively including next-to-leading order corrections.
The SPS calculations are performed in collinear approximation
with exact...

We present evidence of associated vector boson+prompt J/psi production and measure its production rate. This is a key observable to further the understanding of quarkonium production mechanisms. We estimate the relative contributions to the signal from single and double parton scattering and discuss possible implications of this novel final state for study of multiple parton interactions....

The identification and study of jets originated from the hadronic decays of massive particles, like vector bosons or top quark provide a direct test of QCD calculations of gluon and quark radiation and validate novel techniques of jet shapes and jet substructure for reducing the sensitivity to soft QCD and to multiple proton-proton collisions. A measurement of jet shapes in t-tbar final states...

The NA48/2 Collaboration at CERN has accumulated unprecedented
statistics of rare kaon decays in the Ke4 modes Ke4(+-) to pi+ pi- e nu
and Ke4(00) to pi0 pi0 e nu with ~one percent background contamination.
The detailed study of form factors is sensitive to small isospin symmetry
breaking effects. This brings new inputs to low energy QCD description
and crucial tests of predictions from...

In the forthcoming high-luminosity phase at the LHC, many of the most interesting measurements for precision QCD studies are hampered by conditions of large pileup, particularly at not very high transverse momenta. We study observables based on measuring ratios of color-singlet currents via Higgs boson and Drell-Yan production, which may be accessed also at large pileup, and used for an...

The results for azimuthal decorelations in production of forward and central jets in collision p+p and p+Pb are going to be presented. The considered cross section is obtained within framework of high energy factorization and makes use of gluon density obtained from BK equation extended to account for corrections of higher order.

We study the photoproduction of J/\Psi mesons off a proton in the kinematical regime of large energies and scattering angles within the framework of perturbative QCD. The heavy charm-quark mass is providing the relevant hard scale in the process. In particular, it is the so-called hard scattering approach which is taken as theoretical basis for our investigations. There the hadrons are...

We extend to investigate the evolution of free energy and direct photon production from quark-gluon plasma (QGP) considering finite chemical potential. The evolution of QGP formation at the chemical potential is done through finite value of quark mass.The evolution rate is found to be decreasing with chemical potential. We further study the direct photon emission from fireball of such QGP and...

In this talk, I discuss the growing interest to measure associated-quarkonium production in a number of channels at the LHC. Whereas back-to-back production of quarkonium + isolated photon provides a unique way to extract gluon TMDs [1], observables such as quarkonium + W/Z can be of great help to better understand the quarkonium production mechanism as well as to shed light on double-parton...
