High-resolution microscopy methods based on different nonlinear optical (NLO) contrast mechanisms are finding numerous applications in biology and medicine. While the basic implementations of these microscopy methods are relatively mature, an important direction of continuing technological innovation lies in improving the throughput of these systems. Throughput improvement is expected to be imp...

The transverse energy flow generated by minijets in hadron and nuclear collisions into a given rapidity window in the central region is calculated in the next-toleading (NLO) order in QCD at RHIC and LHC energies. The NLO transverse energy production in pp collisions cross sections are larger than the LO ones by the factors of KRHIC ∼ 1.9 and KLHC ∼ 2.1 at RHIC and LHC energies correspondingly....

We examine the process B → Xsγ in minimal supersymmetry (SUSY) with general flavor mixing in the squark sector. We include all important next–to–leading (NLO) QCD corrections as well as dominant NLO SUSY effects from the gluino field. We find a generic alignment between the gluino corrections to the down–type quark masses and to the dominant Wilson coefficients, which, for μ > 0, leads to a “fo...

The next-to-leading order (NLO) cross section of the gluon fusion process is matched to parton showers in the MC@NLO approach. We work in the framework of MadGraph5_aMC@NLO and document the inclusion of the full quark-mass dependence in the Standard Model (SM) as well as the state-of-the-art squark and gluino effects within the Minimal Supersymmetric SM embodied in the program SusHi. The combin...

We present a calculation of the BB0–mixing including Next–to–Leading Order (NLO) QCD corrections within the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM). The QCD corrections at NLO are contained in the factor denoted by η2 which modifies the result obtained at the lowest order of perturbation theory. In the Standard Model case, we confirm the results for η2 obtained by Buras, Jamin and Weisz [1]. The factor ...

The production of the Standard Model Higgs boson in photon-photon collisions represents an interesting mechanism for measuring the partial width Γ(H → γγ) with a 3% accuracy at an upgrade option of the International Linear Collider (see [2] and references therein). Therefore, the computation of radiative corrections to the leading order (LO) decay width [3] has been an active field of research ...

Carbon disulfide is the most popular material for applications of nonlinear optical (NLO) liquids, and is frequently used as a reference standard for NLO measurements. Although it has been the subject of many investigations, determination of the third-order optical nonlinearity of CS2 has been incomplete. This is in part because of several strong mechanisms for nonlinear refraction (NLR), leadi...
