Status Report of NNLO QCD Calculations
نویسنده
چکیده
We review recent progress in next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) perturbative QCD calculations with special emphasis on results ready for phenomenological applications. Important examples are new results on structure functions and jet or Higgs boson production. In addition, we describe new calculational techniques based on twistors and their potential for efficient calculations of multiparticle amplitudes.

Determination of the Strong Coupling αS from hadronic Event Shapes and NNLO QCD predictions using JADE Data
Event Shape Data from ee annihilation into hadrons collected by the JADE experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 14 GeV and 44 GeV are used to determine the strong coupling αS. QCD predictions complete to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO), alternatively combined with resummed next-to-leading-log-approximation (NNLO+NLLA) calculations, are used. The combined value from six different eve...
متن کاملTools for NNLO QCD Calculations
For precision studies with QCD observables at colliders, higher order perturbative corrections are often mandatory. For exclusive observables, like jet cross sections or differential distributions, these corrections were until recently only known to next-to-leading order (NLO) in perturbation theory. Owing to many new technical developments, first next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD calcul...
متن کاملHiggs-boson production through gluon fusion at NNLO QCD with parton showers
Stefan Höche, Ye Li, and Stefan Prestel SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, 22603 Hamburg, Germany We discuss how the UNLOPS scheme for matching NNLO calculations to parton showers can be applied to processes with large higher-order perturbative QCD corrections. We focus on Higgsboson production through gluon fusion as an examp...
متن کاملNNLO corrections to charmless hadronic B decays
We report on the status of the perturbative calculation in the QCD factorization framework to charmless hadronic B meson decays and present a compilation of available NNLO results. * Speaker. † I would like to thank Volker Pilipp for a fruitful collaboration on part of the subjects presented in this article and the organizers of EFT09 for creating a pleasant and stimulating workshop atmosphere.
متن کاملfastNLO tables for NNLO top-quark pair differential distributions
We release fastNLO tables with NNLO QCD top-quark pair differential distributions corresponding to 8 TeV ATLAS [1] and CMS [2] measurements. This is the first time fastNLO tables with NNLO QCD accuracy have been made publicly available. The tables are indispensable in pdf fits and allow, for the first time, very fast calculation of differential distributions with any pdf set and for different v...
