The phenomenological constraints on extra neutral gauge bosons at present and at future
colliders are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the influence of radiative corrections …

The elements, theoretical basis, and experimental status of perturbative quantum
chromodynamics are presented. Relevant field-theoretic methods are introduced at a …

A bstract We compute for the first time the complete corrections at N 3 LO in the strong
coupling constant to the inclusive neutral-current Drell-Yan process including contributions …

We present phenomenological results for the inclusive cross section for the production of a
lepton pair via virtual photon exchange at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in …

A bstract We present for the first time the inclusive cross section for associated Higgs boson
production with a massive gauge boson at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD …

In this paper we present the complete calculation of the order α s 2 correction in the MS
scheme to the Drell-Yan K-factor. All channels represented by the qq̄, qg, gg and qq …

A systematic study is performed on the finite harmonic sums up to level four. These sums
form the general basis for the Mellin transforms of all individual functions fi (x) of the …

We present a new analysis of parton distributions of the proton. This incorporates a wide
range of new data, an improved treatment of heavy flavours and a re-examination of prompt …

We present the complete order α s 2 contribution to the Drell-Yan coefficient function in the
DIS scheme. Its effect on the corresponding K-factor is studied and a comparison is made …

W and Z bosons will be produced copiously at the LHC proton-proton collider. We study the
parton distribution dependence of the total production cross sections and rapidity …
