QCD and strongly coupled gauge theories: challenges and perspectives

N Brambilla, S Eidelman, P Foka, S Gardner… - The European Physical …, 2014 - Springer
We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

A consistent resummation of mass and soft logarithms in processes with heavy flavours

A Ghira, S Marzani, G Ridolfi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract Perturbative calculations for processes that involve heavy flavours can be
performed in two approaches: the massive scheme and the massless one. The former …

[HTML][HTML] On heavy-flavour jets with Soft Drop

S Caletti, A Ghira, S Marzani - The European Physical Journal C, 2024 - Springer
We study hadronic jets that are tagged as heavy-flavoured, ie they contain either beauty or
charm. In particular, we consider heavy-flavour jets that have been groomed with the Soft …

Two-loop QCD corrections to the heavy-to-light quark decay

R Bonciani, A Ferroglia - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an analytic expression for the two-loop QCD corrections to the decay process
b→ u W*, where b and u are a massive and massless quark, respectively, while W* is an off …

Heavy quark fragmentation in e+ e− collisions to NNLO+ NNLL accuracy in perturbative QCD

L Bonino, M Cacciari, G Stagnitto - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract Fragmentation of heavy quarks into heavy-flavoured hadrons receives both
perturbative and non-perturbative contributions. We consider perturbative QCD corrections …

[HTML][HTML] Improved factorization for threshold resummation in heavy quark to heavy quark decays

UG Aglietti, G Ferrera - The European Physical Journal C, 2023 - Springer
We consider the resummation of soft-gluon effects in heavy quark to heavy quark decays,
namely the processes\(Q_1\rightarrow Q_2\,+\,\mathrm {(non\, QCD\, partons)}\) …

Improved perturbative QCD formalism for meson decays

X Liu, H Li, ZJ Xiao - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
We derive the k T resummation for doubly heavy-flavored B c meson decays by including the
charm quark mass effect into the known formula for a heavy-light system. The resultant …

Semileptonic to P-wave charmonia transitions within QCD sum rules

K Azizi, H Sundu, M Bayar - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2009 - APS
The form factors of the semileptonic B c→ S (AV) ℓ ν (ℓ= τ, μ, e) transitions, where S and AV
denote the scalar X c 0 and axial-vector (X c 1, hc) mesons, are calculated within the …

An improved description of charm fragmentation data

M Cacciari, A Ghira, S Marzani, G Ridolfi - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.04173, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider the fragmentation of heavy quarks into heavy-flavoured hadrons, specifically
the production of charmed mesons in $ e^+ e^-$ collisions, at different centre-of-mass …
