/ Buccioni, Federico (Munich, Tech. U.) ; Chen, Xuan (Shandong U.) ; Feng, Wei-Jie (Zurich U.) ; Gehrmann, Thomas (Zurich U.) ; Huss, Alexander (CERN) ; Marcoli, Matteo (Durham U., IPPP)
Photon pair production is an important benchmark process at the LHC, entering Higgs boson studies and new physics searches. It has been measured to high accuracy, allowing for detailed studies of event shapes in diphoton final states. [...]

Zurich (main) ; Durham U., IPPP) ; Gwenlan, Claire (Oxford U.) ; Heinrich, Gudrun (KIT, Karlsruhe, TP) ; Huss, Alexander (CERN) et al.
We determine the value of the strong coupling $\alpha_\text{s}$ and study its running over a wide range of scales as probed by the dijet production process at hadron colliders, based on an NNLO QCD analysis of LHC dijet data. From a large subset of these data a value of $\alpha_\text{s} (m_\text{Z}) = 0.1178 \pm 0.0022$ is obtained for the strong coupling at the scale of the Z-boson mass $m_\text{Z}$, using the invariant mass of the dijet system to select the scale where $\alpha_\text{s}$ is probed.

NNLO Photon Production with Realistic Photon Isolation
/ Schuermann, Robin (Zurich U.) ; Chen, Xuan (Karlsruhe U., ITP ; KIT, Karlsruhe, IAP) ; Gehrmann, Thomas (Zurich U.) ; Glover, E.W.N. (Durham U., IPPP) ; Höfer, Marius (Munich U., ASC) ; Huss, Alexander (CERN)
Isolated photon production at hadron colliders proceeds via direct production and fragmentation processes. Theory predictions for the isolated photon and photon-plus-jet cross section often impose idealised photon isolation criteria, eliminating the fragmentation contribution and introducing a systematic uncertainty in the comparison to data. [...]

Differential N$^3$LO QCD corrections to charged current production at the LHC

Charged current Drell-Yan production at hadron colliders is a benchmark electroweak process. A recent measurement of the W boson mass by the CDF experiment displays a large deviation from the Standard Model prediction. [...]

Transverse Mass Distribution and Charge Asymmetry in W Boson Production to Third Order in QCD
/ Chen, Xuan (KIT, Karlsruhe, TP ; KIT, Karlsruhe, IKP) ; Gehrmann, Thomas (Zurich U.) ; Glover, Nigel (Durham U., IPPP) ; Huss, Alexander (CERN) ; Yang, Tong-Zhi (Zurich U.) ; Zhu, Hua Xing (Zhejiang U., Inst. Mod. Phys.)
Charged gauge boson production at hadron colliders is a fundamental benchmark for the extraction of electroweak parameters and the understanding of the proton structure. To enable precision phenomenology for this process, we compute the third-order (N$^3$LO) QCD corrections to the rapidity distribution and charge asymmetry in W boson production and to the transverse mass distribution of its decay products.

Automation of antenna subtraction in colour space: gluonic processes
/ Chen, Xuan (KIT, Karlsruhe ; KIT, Karlsruhe, IKP) ; Gehrmann, Thomas (Zurich U.) ; Glover, E.W. N. (Durham U., IPPP) ; Huss, Alexander (CERN) ; Marcoli, Matteo (Zurich U.)
We present the colourful antenna subtraction method, a reformulation of the antenna subtraction scheme for next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations in QCD. The aim of this new approach is to achieve a general and process-independent construction of the subtraction infrastructure at NNLO. [...]

Third-Order Fiducial Predictions for Drell-Yan Production at the LHC

The Drell-Yan process at hadron colliders is a fundamental benchmark for the study of strong interactions and the extraction of electro-weak parameters. The outstanding precision of the LHC demands very accurate theoretical predictions with a full account of fiducial experimental cuts. [...]

Dilepton Rapidity Distribution in Drell-Yan Production to Third Order in QCD
/ Chen, Xuan (Zurich U. ; KIT, Karlsruhe, IAP ; KIT, Karlsruhe, TP) ; Gehrmann, Thomas (Zurich U.) ; Glover, Nigel (Durham U., IPPP) ; Huss, Alexander (CERN) ; Yang, Tong-Zhi (Zurich U.) ; Zhu, Hua Xing (Zhejiang U., Inst. Mod. Phys.)
We compute for the first time the lepton-pair rapidity distribution in the photon-mediated Drell-Yan process to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) in QCD. The calculation is based on the qT-subtraction method, suitably extended to this order for quark-antiquark initiated Born processes. [...]
