Photon Radiation with MadDipole

We present the automation of a subtraction method for photon radiation using the dipole formalism within the MadGraph framework. The subtraction terms are implemented both in dimensional regularization and mass regularization for massless and massive cases and non-collinear-safe observables are accounted for.

Hadronic photon-photon scattering at LEP

Hadronic interactions of two quasi-real photons have been studied extensively both during the LEP1 and the LEP2 data taking periods. The higher energies available at LEP2 in particular opened regions of phase space where hadronic processes can be predicted reliably by perturbative QCD calculations, usually available to next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant for the process concer...

Effective QCD coupling and power corrections to photon-photon scattering

The scattering of two off-shell photons is an infrared-safe process in QCD. For photon virtualities Q in the range of a few GeV, accessible at LEPII, powerbehaved contributions in (ΛQCD/Q) n to the total cross section may become non-negligible. Based on a dispersion relation for the running coupling, we discuss these contributions and calculate the coefficients of the leading power correction f...
