In this paper, we carry out the next-to-leading-order (NLO) studies on $Z to Upsilon(1S)+g+g$ via the color-singlet (CS) $bbar{b}$ state. We find the newly calculated NLO QCD corrections to this process can significantly influence its leading-order (LO) results, and greatly improve the dependence on the renormalization scale. By including the considerable feeddown contributions, the branching ratio $mathcal{B}_{Z to Upsilon(1S)+g+g}$ is predicted to be $(0.56 sim 0.95)times 10^{-6}$, which can reach up to $19% sim 31%$ of the LO predictions given by the CS dominant process $Z to Upsilon(1S)+b+bar{b}$. Moreover, $Z to Upsilon(1S)+g+g$ also seriously affect the CS predictions on the $Upsilon(1S)$ energy distributions, especially when $z$ is relatively small. In summary, for the inclusive $Upsilon(1S)$ productions in $Z$ decay, besides $Z to Upsilon(1S)+b+bar{b}$, the gluon radiation process $Z to Upsilon(1S)+g+g$ can provide indispensable contributions as well.

We present a first analysis of parton-to-pion fragmentation functions at next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy in QCD based on single-inclusive pion production in electron-positron annihilation. Special emphasis is put on the technical details necessary to perform the QCD scale evolution and cross section calculation in Mellin moment space. We demonstrate how the description of the data and the theoretical uncertainties are improved when next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections are included.
Applying the nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics factorization formalism to the $Upsilon(1S,2S,3S)$ hadroproduction, a complete analysis on the polarization parameters $lambda_{theta}$, $lambda_{thetaphi}$, $lambda_{phi}$ for the production are presented at QCD next-to-leading order. With the long-distance matrix elements extracted from experimental data for the production rate and polarization parameter $lambda_{theta}$ of $Upsilon$ hadroproduction, our results provide a good description for the measured parameters $lambda_{thetaphi}$ and $lambda_{phi}$ in both the helicity and the Collins-Soper frames. In our calculations the frame invariant parameter $tilde{lambda}$ is consistent in the two frames. Finally, it is pointed out that there are discrepancies for $tilde{lambda}$ between available experimental data and corresponding theoretical predictions.
The reaction pp/pbar p -> t tbar jet+X is an important background process for Higgs boson searches in the mass range below 200 GeV. Apart from that it is also an ideal laboratory for precision measurements in the top quark sector. Both applications require a solid theoretical prediction, which can be achieved only through a full next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation. In this work we describe the NLO computation of the subprocess gg -> t tbar g.
The leading order hadronic contribution to the muon magnetic moment anomaly, $a^{HAD}_mu$, is determined entirely in the framework of QCD. The result in the light-quark sector, in units of $10^{-10}$, is $a^{HAD}_mu|_{uds} =686 pm 26$, and in the heavy-quark sector $a^{HAD}_mu|_{c} =14.4 pm 0.1$, and $a^{HAD}_mu|_{b} =0.29 pm 0.01$, resulting in $a^{HAD}_mu = 701 pm 26$. The main uncertainty is due to the current lattice QCD value of the first and second derivative of the electromagnetic current correlator at the origin. Expected improvement in the precision of these derivatives may render this approach the most accurate and trustworthy determination of the leading order $a^{HAD}_mu$.
We determine an approximate expression for the O(alpha_s^3) contribution chi_2 to the kernel of the BFKL equation, which includes all collinear and anticollinear singular contributions. This is derived using recent results on the relation between the GLAP and BFKL kernels (including running-coupling effects to all orders) and on small-x factorization schemes. We present the result in various schemes, relevant both for applications to the BFKL equation and to small-x evolution of parton distributions.
