Relating loop integrals to tree level objects goes back several decades to Feynman. In the past ten years the loop-tree duality theorem was introduced, which expresses $l$-loop integrals in terms of phase space integrals of sum of trees obtained from cutting $l$ internal propagators of the loop graph. In addition, the uncut propagators gain a modified $i \delta$-prescription, named dual...
In order to make predictions that can be compared with the results that the LHC delivers, there are several approaches to compare the experiment with the theory. It is known that to establish this comparison, we cannot rely on leading order (LO) calculations only. Hence, we need to consider next-to-leading order (NLO) contributions, that are often understood as virtual and real. Although we...
I discuss the latest developments of FDR in the context of Quantum Field Theory calculations relevant for High Energy Physics phenomenology. In particular, I focus on NNLO computations and the use of FDR in connection to effective QFTs.
The proper renormalization of mixing angles in quantum field theories
is a long-standing problem. It is relevant for the renormalization of the
quark mixing matrix in the Standard Model and for various mixing
scenarios in theories beyond. In this talk we specifically consider
theories with extended scalar sectors. We review existing renormalization
schemes for mixing angles and introduce...
Recent results are presented on polarized and unpolarized heavy flavor corrections
to DIS to 2- and 3-loop order in the full region and for large virtualities.
In the polarized case we also discuss the treatment of \gamma_5 and derive
results in the M-scheme.
Our renormalization group consistent version of optimized perturbation, RGOPT, had been used to calculate the nonperturbative QCD spectral density of the Dirac operator and the related chiral quark condensate $\langle \bar q q \rangle$, for $n_f=2$ and $n_f=3$ massless quarks. Sequences of approximations at two-, three-, and four-loop orders gave stable parameter-free determinations...
In this talk I will present open issues in the deacription of processes leading to the hadroproduction of at least one heavy meson or baryon, considering different flavour number schemes. Solving these issues is important for improving the accuracy of PDf fits and of predictions in high-energy astroparticle physics.
