Progress in NNLO calculations for scattering processes
نویسنده
چکیده
The various motivations for improving the perturbative prediction to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) for basic scattering processes in proton-(anti)proton, electron-proton and electron-positron scattering are discussed in detail. Recent progress in the field of next-to-next-to-leading order calculations is reviewed.

Status Report of NNLO QCD Calculations
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 multiparticl...

متن کاملNNLO Corrections to Nucleon-Nucleon Scattering and Perturbative Pions
The S0, S1, and D1 nucleon-nucleon scattering phase shifts are calculated at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in an effective field theory. Predictions for the P1, P0,1,2, D2, and D2,3 phase shifts at this order are also compared with data. The calculations treat pions perturbatively and include the NNLO contributions from order Qr and Q 4 r radiation pion graphs. In the S1, D1, and P0,2 ch...
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 کاملStatus of jet cross sections to NNLO
In the near future the LHC experiments will provide us with a large sample of multi-particle final states. In order to extract information from this data, precise theoretical calculations are necessary. This implies to extend perturbative calculations for selected processes from next-toleading order (NLO) to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the perturbative expansion in the strong coupli...
