    A variety of vector boson measurements has been performed with Run 1 LHCb data, including inclusive Z/W cross-sections, the Z forward-backward asymmetry, Z plus charm, Z/W production with jets (including heavy flavor), and top production. Additionally, new inclusive Z/W cross-sections have been measured with Run 2 data. A summary of the most relevant results will be presented.

    We present the complete calculation of the NNLO QCD corrections to the hadronic production of a charged lepton pair in association with a jet. Our results comprise various kinematical distributions that are of importance at the LHC and a significant reduction of the residual scale uncertainty is observed throughout. The corrections to differential distributions are not always uniform and imply...

    We present the first public implementation of antenna-based QCD initial- and final-state showers. The shower kernels are $2\to 3$ antenna functions, which capture not only the collinear dynamics but also the leading soft (coherent) singularities of QCD matrix elements. We define the evolution measure to be inversely proportional to the leading poles, hence gluon emissions are evolved in a...

    We present a new approach to the realization of hard fixed-order corrections in predictions for the processes probed in high energy colliding hadron beam devices, with some emphasis on the LHC and the future FCC devices. We show that the usual unphysical divergence of such corrections as one approaches the soft limit is removed in our approach, so that we would render the standard results to...

    I will discuss some recent investigations of excited mesons using first-principles lattice QCD calculations. Over the last few years, by developing a range of novel techniques we have made significant advances in studying hadrons with exotic quantum numbers, near-threshold states, resonances and related scattering phenomena. Some highlights of results from scattering channels involving charm...

    Inclusive hadron production cross sections and angular distributions in e+e- collisions shed light on fundamental questions of hadronization and fragmentation processes. We present measurements of the Collins azimuthal asymmetries in inclusive production of hadron pairs, in the e+e- -> h1 h2 X annihilation process, where the hadrons (either kaons or pions) are produced in opposite...

    Our understanding of the transition from partons to hadrons in QCD has been challenged in recent years. In particular for high-multiplicity minimum-bias events at the LHC, novel experimentation techniques have revealed tantalising indications of non-trivial and possibly collective phenomena. A new wave of model building efforts has ensued, including ideas of colour reconnections, colour ropes,...

    We present a detailed theoretical analysis of very rare, exclusive hadronic decays of Z bosons from first principles of QCD. Our main focus is on the radiative decays Z -> M gamma, in which M is a pseudoscalar or vector meson. At leading order in an expansion in powers of Lambda_QCD/mV the decay amplitudes can be factorized into convolutions of calculable hard-scattering coefficients with...

    The most important sources of uncertainty in calculations of the partial widths of the Higgs boson within the Standard Model will come from the parametric dependences on ฮฑs, mb, and mc. Knowledge of these parameters is systematically improvable through numerical lattice gauge theory calculations. I discuss the current status of and prospects for these calculations and estimate the precision...

    We apply an analysis method previously developed for the extraction of the strong coupling from the OPAL data to the recently revised ALEPH data for non-strange hadronic ฯ„ decays. Our analysis yields the values ฮฑs(m2ฯ„)=0.296ยฑ0.010 using fixed-order perturbation theory, and ฮฑ_s(m^2_ฯ„)=0.310ยฑ0.014 using contour-improved perturbation theory.

    The KLOE experiment has collected 2.5 fb-1 at the peak of the phi resonance at the e+e- collider DAPHNE in Frascati. A new beam crossing scheme, allowing for a reduced beam size and increased luminosity, is now operating at DAPHNE. The upgraded detector, named KLOE-2, has already collected 1.3 fb-1 in these new operating conditions. In the meanwhile, analysis of KLOE data is still in...

    The LHCf experiment, located at $\pm$ 140 m from the ATLAS interaction point, has been conceived to measure the neutral particles produced in the vey forward region (ฮท > 8.4) at LHC. The experiment has taken data both in p-p at different c.m.s. energies and in p-Pb collisions. These measurements are extremely useful to calibrate the hadronic interaction models currently used for the study of...

    The production of $\pi^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$, $K^{0}_{S}$, $p$ ($\bar{p}$), $\Lambda$, $\Xi^{-}$ ($\bar{\Xi}^{+}$) and $\Omega^{-}$ ($\bar{\Omega}^{+}$) hadrons is measured at midrapidity in proton-proton (pp) collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV as a function of charged-particle multiplicity. In order to avoid autocorrelation biases, events are classified according to the signal measured in the VZERO...

    We extend the scaling behaviour observed in the inclusive charged hadron transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) distributions to the $p_{T}$ spectra of pions, kaons and protons produced in proton-proton ($pp$) collisions with center of mass energies ($\sqrt{s}$ ) at 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV. This scaling behaviour arises when a linear transformation, $p_{T} \rightarrow p_{T}/K$, is applied on the pion,...

    Overview of the two component model for hadroproduction based on the recently published papers is presented. The transverse momentum spectra, $d^2\sigma/(d\eta dp_T^2)$, of hadrons produced in high energy collisions can be decomposed into the two components: the exponential ("thermal") and the power ("hard") ones. Thus, charged hadron spectra produced in various interactions (pp, $\gamma$p,...

    Since strange quark contributions to nucleon observables must arise entirely through interactions with the vacuum, their sign and magnitude provide key information regarding the nonperturbative structure of the nucleon. For this reason there have been extensive experimental and theory efforts directed at measuring such quantities over the last decade. I will discuss the significant progress...

    The excited states in hadron physics are seen as resonances in the scattering of light stable states in QCD, like $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$ mesons. Many excited states also decay into multiple final states, necessitating coupled-channel analyses. Recently it has become possible to obtain coupled-channel scattering amplitudes using lattice QCD. Using a large diverse basis of operators we are able...

    In analyzing the chiral phase-structure, we utilize mean field approximation for the SU(4) Polyakov linear sigma model (PLSM), in which light, strange and charm quarks are combined. The different chiral condensates and the deconfinement order parameters shall be studied in dependence on temperature, chemical potential and magnetic field. This enables us to investigate the QCD equation of...

    The formation of CP violation (CPV) constrained by CPT invariance is affected by resonances and final state interactions (FSI). Starting from the CPT constraint, we propose a generalized CP asymmetry formula including resonances and FSI. A simple $B$ decay model is elaborated with the $\rho$ and $f_0(980)$ resonances plus a non resonant background including the $\pi\pi \to KK$ scattering...

    In 2010 the first measurement of the proton charge radius from spectroscopy of muonic hydrogen was found to be five standard deviations away from the regular hydrogen value. Almost six years later, this "proton radius puzzle" is still unresolved. One of the most promising avenues to test the muonic hydrogen result is a new muon-proton scattering experiment called MUSE. We describe how...
