The anticipated experimental resolution and data cache of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider will enable precision investigations of polarization in multiboson processes. This includes, for the first time, vector boson scattering. To facilitate such studies, we report the automation of polarized matrix element computations in the publicly available Monte Carlo tool suite, MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. This enables scattering and decay simulations involving helicity-polarized asymptotic or intermediate states, preserving both spin-correlation and off-shell effects. As demonstrations of the method, we investigate the leading order production and decay of polarized weak gauge bosons in the process $pp to j j W^+_lambda W^-_{lambda}$, with helicity eigenstates $(lambda,lambda)$ defined in various reference frames. We consider the Standard Model at both $mathcal{O}(alpha^4)$ and $mathcal{O}(alpha^2 alpha_s^2)$ as well as a benchmark composite Higgs scenario. We report good agreement with polarization studies based on the On-Shell Projection (OSP) technique. Future capabilities are discussed.

The prevalence of null results in searches for new physics at the LHC motivates the effort to make these searches as model-independent as possible. We describe procedures for adapting the Matrix Element Method for situations where the signal hypothes is is not known a priori. We also present general and intuitive approaches for performing analyses and presenting results, which involve the flattening of background distributions using likelihood information. The first flattening method involves ranking events by background matrix element, the second involves quantile binning with respect to likelihood (and other) variables, and the third method involves reweighting histograms by the inverse of the background distribution.

We improve the theoretical predictions for the production of extra neutral gauge bosons at hadron colliders by implementing the Z bosons in the MC@NLO generator and by computing their differential and total cross sections in joint p_T and threshold r esummation. The two improved predictions are found to be in excellent agreement with each other for mass spectra, p_T spectra, and total cross sections, while the PYTHIA parton and ``power shower predictions usually employed for experimental analyses show significant shortcomings both in normalization and shape. The theoretical uncertainties from scale and parton density variations and non-perturbative effects are found to be 9%, 8%, and less than 5%, respectively, and thus under good control. The implementation of our improved predictions in terms of the new MC@NLO generator or resummed K factors in the analysis chains of the Tevatron and LHC experiments should be straightforward and lead to more precise determinations or limits of the Z boson masses and/or couplings.
We calculate the unpolarized and polarized three--loop anomalous dimensions and splitting functions $P_{rm NS}^+, P_{rm NS}^-$ and $P_{rm NS}^{rm s}$ in QCD in the $overline{sf MS}$ scheme by using the traditional method of space--like off shell mass less operator matrix elements. This is a gauge--dependent framework. For the first time we also calculate the three--loop anomalous dimensions $P_{rm NS}^{rm pm tr}$ for transversity directly. We compare our results to the literature.
We perform for the first time a direct calculation of on-shell $Ktopipi$ hadronic matrix elements of chromomagnetic operators (CMO) in the Standard Model and beyond. To his end, we use the successful Dual QCD (DQCD) approach in which we also consider off-shell $K-pi$ matrix elements that allows the comparison with lattice QCD calculations of these matrix elements presented recently by the ETM collaboration. Working in the SU(3) chiral limit, we find for the single $B$ parameter $B_{rm CMO}=0.33$. Using the numerical results provided by the ETM collaboration we argue that only small corrections beyond that limit are to be expected. Our results are relevant for new physics scenarios in the context of the emerging $epsilon^prime/epsilon$ anomaly strongly indicated within DQCD and supported by RBC-UKQCD lattice collaboration.
The heavy quark effects in deep--inelastic scattering in the asymptotic regime $Q^2 gg m^2$ can be described by heavy flavor operator matrix elements. Complete analytic expressions for these objects are currently known to ${sf NLO}$. We present first results for fixed moments at ${sf NNLO}$. This involves a recalculation of fixed moments of the corresponding ${sf NNLO}$ anomalous dimensions, which we thereby confirm.
