We present recent developments in the application of exact amplitude-based resummation methods in the confrontation between precision theory and recent experimental results. As a consequence, we argue that these methods open the way to 1\% total theoretical precision in LHC and FCC physics when realized via MC event generators.
With the advancement of strategies for the precision physics programs for the HL-LHC, FCC-ee, FCC-hh, ILC, CLIC, CEPC, and CPPC, the need for proper control of the attendant theoretical precision tags is manifest. We discuss the role that amplitude-based resummation may play in this regard with examples from the LHC, the proposed new colliders and quantum gravity.

QCD散射振幅的红外发散可以从反常维数矩阵中导出，这也是软胶子发射产生的大振幅的重新计算的一个重要组成部分。本文报道了最近在双圈水平上对有质量部分子和无质量部分子的反常维数矩阵的解析计算，它描述了任意数量的有质量部分子和无质量部分子的散射振幅的双圈红外奇异性，并使软胶子能以次-次-首对数级重算.作为应用，我们计算了q qbar -> t tbar和gg -> t tbar散射振幅中的红外极点。
IR-improvement based on amplitude-level resummation allows one to control unintegrable results in quantum field theory with arbitrary precision in principle. We illustrate such resummation in specific examples in precision LHC and FCC physics and in quantum gravity.
I report on precision comparisons of theoretical predictions for Drell-Yan (DY) transverse momentum spectra from two approaches: the analytical resummation approach based on Collins-Soper-Sterman (CSS) formalism and the parton branching (PB) approach to the evolution of transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions.
Experiments at the LHC are collecting a wealth of data with an unprecedented level of precision. As a consequence, the theoretical error is now starting to lag behind the experimental one, and a ceaseless effort is required to reduce the theory uncertainty to match the precision of the data. At hadron colliders, QCD predictions are obtained by convoluting perturbative parton-level results with non-perturbative PDFs, whose precise determination is crucial to reach percent-accurate theoretical predictions. At the parton level, cross sections are obtained through a perturbative expansion in the s…
We revisit the multi-loop structure of the anomalous-dimension matrix governing the infrared divergences of massless $n$-particle scattering amplitudes in non-abelian gauge theories. In particular, we derive its most general form at four-loop order, significantly simplifying corresponding expressions given previously. By carefully reevaluating the constraints imposed by two-particle collinear limits, we find that at four-loop order color structures involving $d_R^{abcd}$, the symmetrized trace of four group generators, appear along with cusp logarithms $\ln[μ^2/(-s_{ij})]$. As a consequence, n…
The $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitude is an important non-perturbative quantity arising in the factorization of the amplitudes for many exclusive decays of $B$ mesons, such as $B^-\toγ\,\ell^-\barν$. We reconsider the renormalization-group (RG) equation satisfied by this function and present its solution at next-to-leading order (NLO) in RG-improved perturbation theory in Laplace space and, for the first time, in momentum space and the so-called diagonal (or dual) space. Since the information needed to describe the $B$ decay processes at leading order in $Λ_{\rm QCD}/m_b$ is most dir…
The studies of the associated production processes of a top-quark pair with a colour-singlet boson, e.g. Higgs, W or Z, are among the highest priorities of the LHC programme. Correspondingly, improvements in precision of theoretical predictions for these processes are of central importance. In this talk, we review our latest results on resummation of soft gluon corrections. The resummation is carried out using the direct QCD Mellin space technique in three-particle invariant mass kinematics. We discuss the impact of the soft gluon corrections on predictions for total cross sections and differe…
We present first results of resumming soft gluon effects in a simulation of high energy collisions beyond the leading-colour approximation. We work to all orders in QCD perturbation theory using a new parton branching algorithm. This amplitude evolution algorithm resembles a parton shower that is able to systematically include colour-suppressed terms. We find that colour suppressed terms can significantly contribute to jet veto cross sections.
We present updated results for the production cross sections of slepton pairs and neutralino-chargino pairs at the LHC with next-to-next-to logarithmic precision matched at approximate QCD next-to-next-to leading order. The explored range of masses of the supersymmetric particles are chosen to be relevant for current and future searches at the LHC. We find moderate increases in the invariant mass distributions and integrated cross sections, and substantial reductions in the scale uncertainty of the results.
We present predictions of the distribution of groomed heavy jet mass in electron-positron collisions at the next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy matched with the resummation of large logarithms to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. Resummation at this accuracy is possible through extraction of necessary two-loop constants and three-loop anomalous dimensions from fixed-order codes.
New approach to the resummation of logarithms in Higgs-boson decays to a vector quarkonium plus a photon
本文计算了希格斯玻色子玻色子衰变到矢量重夸克偶素态加光子的速率，其中重夸克偶素态为J/psi和Upperdum（nS）态，n=1，2或3.计算在光锥形式下进行，并结合非相对论QCD因子分解，并且在m_Q^2/m_H^2的首阶上是精确的，其中m_Q是重夸克质量，m_H是希格斯玻色子质量。计算中包含了对强耦合常数α_s和重夸克速度v的平方的次领先级修正，并在次领先级对数精度下重新计算了m_H^2/m_Q^2。本文发展了一种新的方法，它利用Abel求和，通过Pade近似加速，来处理夸克偶素光锥分布振幅的图解表达式中的发散。这种方法使我们能够对再热效应进行明确的计算。用这种新方法得到的α_s阶和v^2阶修正对光锥分布振幅的贡献与从模型光锥分布振幅[M.

We present the first threshold and jet radius jointly resummed cross section for single-inclusive hadronic jet production. We work at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy and our framework allows for a systematic extension beyond the currently achieved precision. Longstanding numerical issues are overcome by performing the resummation directly in momentum space within Soft Collinear Effective Theory. We present the first numerical results for the LHC and observe an improved description of the available data. Our results are of immediate relevance for LHC precision phenomenology including the e…
