We investigate the impact of theoretical uncertainties on the accuracy of measurements involving hadronic jets. The analysis is performed using events with a Z boson and a single jet observed in $pbar{p}$ collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 1.96 TeV in 4.6 $mathrm{fb^{-1}}$ of data from the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). The transverse momenta (pt) of the jet and the boson should balance each other due to momentum conservation in the plane transverse to the direction of the $p$ and $bar{p}$ beams. We evaluate the dependence of the measured pt-balance on theoretical uncertainties associated with initial and final state radiation, choice of renormalization and factorization scales, parton distribution functions, jet-parton matching, calculations of matrix elements, and parton showering. We find that the uncertainty caused by parton showering at large angles is the largest amongst the listed uncertainties. The proposed method can be re-applied at the LHC experiments to investigate and evaluate the uncertainties on the predicted jet energies. The distributions produced at the CDF environment are intended for comparison to those from modern event generators and new tunes of parton showering.

We present precision calculations of the processes e+e- -> 4-fermions in which the double resonant W+W- intermediate state occurs. Referring to this latter intermediate state as the signal process, we show that, by using the YFS Monte Carlo event gen erators YFSWW3-1.14 and KORALW1.42 in an appropriate combination, we achieve a physical precision on the signal process, as isolated with LEP2 MC Workshop cuts, below 0.5 per cent. We stress the full gauge invariance of our calculations and we compare our results with those of other authors where appropriate. In particular, sample Monte Carlo data are explicitly illustrated and compared with the results of the program RacoonWW of Dittmaier {it et al.}. In this way, we show that the total (physical plus technical) precision tag for the WW signal process cross section is 0.4 per cent for 200 GeV, for example. Results are also given for 500 GeV with an eye toward the LC.
We present new precision predictions for semitauonic decays involving $rho$ and $omega$ final state mesons. These decay channels offer an interesting orthogonal probe to study the existing B anomalies in semitauonic transitions and are accessible wit h the Belle II experiment. The predictions are based on combining existing light-cone sum-rule calculations for the form factors with measured experimental spectra from the BaBar and Belle collaborations. This allows us to reliably extrapolate the light-lepton form factor predictions to large values of the four-momentum transfer squared, $q^2$, and in turn to derive precise predictions for $R_{rho}$ and $R_{omega}$, the ratio of the total decay rates of $B rightarrow rho tau u_tau$ and $B rightarrow omega tau u_tau$ for $tau$ final states with respect to light leptons in the SM. In addition, we investigate the impact of all four-fermi operators on the semitauonic $q^2$ spectra and these ratios.

e^+e^- annihilation data recorded by the JADE detector at PETRA were used to measure the C-parameter for the first time at sqrt{s}= 35 and 44 GeV. The distributions were compared to a resummed QCD calculation. In addition, we applied extended resum med calculations to the total and wide jet broadening variables, B_T and B_W. We combined the results on alpha_s with those of our previous study of differential 2-jet rate, thrust, and heavy jet mass, obtaining alpha_s(35 GeV) = 0.1448 +0.0117 -0.0070 and alpha_s(44 GeV) = 0.1392 +0.0105 -0.0074. Moreover power corrections to the mean values of the observables mentioned above were investigated considering the Milan factor and the improved prediction for the jet broadening observables. Our study, which considered e^+e^- data of five event shape observables between sqrt{s}= 14 and 183 GeV, yielded alpha_s(M_{Z^0})=0.1177 +0.0035 -0.0034.

Results on two-particle angular correlations in jet cones and on multiplicity fluctuations in one- and two- dimensional angular intervals, delivered by three experiments (DELPHI, L3 and ZEUS, at $sqrt{s}$ from few to 183 GeV) are compared to present existing analytical QCD calculations, using the LPHD hypothesis. Two different types of functions have been tested. While the differentially normalized correlation functions show substantial deviations from the predictions, a globally normalized correlation function agrees surprisingly well. The role of the QCD parameters $alpha_s$, $Lambda$ and $n_f$ is discussed. The necessity to include full energy-momentum conservation into the analytical calculations is stressed.
We present precise predictions for the production of a Higgs boson in association with a hadronic jet and a $mathrm{W}$ boson at hadron colliders. The behaviour of QCD corrections are studied for fiducial cross sections and distributions of the charg ed gauge boson and jet-related observables. The inclusive process (at least one resolved jet) and the exclusive process (exactly one resolved jet) are contrasted and discussed. The inclusion of QCD corrections up to $mathcal{O}(alpha_{text{s}}^3)$ leads to a clear stabilisation of the predictions and contributes substantially to a reduction of remaining theoretical uncertainties.
