$J$ functions for the process ud$\to$WA

In this paper we present a description of the universal approach for analytic calculations for a certain class of $J$ functions for six topologies of the boxes for process $ud\rightarrow WA$. These functions $J$ arise at the reduction of infrared divergent box diagrams. The standard Passarino--Veltman reduction of four-point box diagram with an internal photon line connecting two external lines on the mass shell leads to infrared-divergent and mass-singular $D_0$ functions. In the system SANC a systematic procedure is adopted to separate both types of singularities into the simplest objects, namely $C_0$ functions. The functions $J$, in turn, are represented as certain linear combinations of the standard $D_0$ and $C_0$ functions. The subtracted $J$ functions are free of both types of singularities and are expressed as explicit and compact linear combinations of dilogarithm functions. We present extensive comparisons of numerical results of SANC with those obtained with the aid of the LoopTools package.

SANC system and its applications for LHC

The {\tt SANC} computer system is aimed at support of analytic and numeric calculations for experiments at colliders. The system is reviewed briefly. Recent results on high-precision description of the Drell-Yan processes at the LHC are presented. Special attention is paid to the evaluation of higher order final-state QED corrections to the single $W$ and $Z$ boson production processes. A new Monte Carlo integrator {\tt mcsanc} suited for description of a series of high-energy physics processes at the one-loop precision level is presented.

$Zγγγ\to 0$ processes in SANC

In this paper we describe the analytic and numerical evaluation of the $γγ\to γZ$ process cross section and the $Z\to γγγ$ decay rate within the SANC system multi-channel approach at the one-loop accuracy level with all masses taking into account. The corresponding package for numeric calculations is presented. For checking of the results correctness we make a comparison with other independent calculations.

SANC integrator in the progress: QCD and EW contributions

Modules and packages for the one-loop calculations at partonic level represent the first level of SANC output computer product. The next level represents Monte Carlo integrator mcsanc, realizing fully differential hadron level calculations (convolution with PDF) for the HEP processes at LHC. In this paper we describe the implementation into the framework mcsanc first set of processes: DY NC, DY CC, ff->HW(Z) and single top production. Both EW and QCD NLO corrections are taken into account. A comparison of SANC results with those existing in the world literature is given.

Standard SANC modules for NLO QCD Radiative Corrections to Single-top Production

It this paper we present the results obtained with the newly created Standard SANC modules for calculation of the NLO QCD corrections to single top production processes in s and t channels at the partonic level, as well as top-decays. The main aim of these results is to prove the correct work of modules. A comprehensive comparison with results of the CompHEP system is given, where possible. These modules are intended to be used in Monte Carlo generators for single top production processes at the LHC. As in our recent paper, devoted to the electroweak corrections to these processes, we study the regularization of the top-legs associated infrared divergences with aid of the complex mass of the top quark. A comparison of QCD corrections with those computed by the conventional method is presented both for top production and decays. For s channel production we give an analytic proof of equivalence of the two methods in the limit of low top width.

Electroweak Radiative Corrections to Single-top Production

Radiative corrections to the single top s and t channel production processes are revisited. Complete one-loop electroweak corrections are calculated within the SANC system. New is a study of the regularisation of the top-legs associated infrared divergences with aid of the complex mass of the top quark. A comparison of these electroweak corrections with those computed by the conventional method is presented both for top production and decays. Standard FORM and FORTRAN SANC modules are created. These modules are compiled into a package sanc_cc_v1.40, which may be downloaded from SANC project homepages. Many numerical results are presented at the partonic level with the aim to demonstrate the correct working of modules. These modules are intended to be used in Monte Carlo generators for single top production at the LHC. Where possible, we compare our results with those existing in the literature; in particular, a comprehensive comparison with results of the CompHEP system is given.

J_AW,WA functions in Passarino-Veltman reduction

In this paper we continue to study a special class of Passarino-Veltman functions J arising at the reduction of infrared divergent box diagrams. We describe a procedure of separation of two types of singularities, infrared and mass singularities, which are absorbed in simple C0 functions. The infrared divergences of C0's can be regularized then by any method: photon mass, dimensionally or by the width of an unstable particle. Functions J, in turn, are represented as certain linear combinations of the standard D0 and C0 Passarino-Veltman functions. The former are free of both types of singularities and are expressed as explicit and compact linear combinations of logarithms and dilogarithm functions. We present extensive comparisons of numerical results with those obtained with the aid of the LoopTools package.

Standard Model light-by-light scattering in SANC: analytic and numeric evaluation

In this paper we describe the implementation of the SM process $γγ\toγγ$ through a fermion and boson loops into the framework of SANC system. The computations of this process takes into account non-zero mass of loop particles. We briefly describe additional precomputation modules used for calculation of massive box diagrams. We present the covariant and helicity amplitudes for this process, some particular cases of $D_0$ and $C_0$ Passarino--Veltman functions and also numerical results of corresponding SANC module evaluation. Whenever possible, we compare the results with those existing in the literature.

SANCnews: top decays in QCD and EW sectors

In this paper we present the results of the implementation of the decay t -> b f1 f1 into the SANC system (f1 is a massless fermion). The new aspect of the work is the combination of QCD and EW corrections. All calculations are done at the one-loop level in the Standard Model. We give a detailed account of the new procedure - the forming of a class of JAW,WA functions. These functions are related to the procedure of extraction of infra-red and mass-shell singular divergences. The emphasis of this paper is on the presentation of numerical results for various approaches: complete one-loop calculations and different versions of pole approximations.

Implementation of SANC EW corrections in WINHAC Monte Carlo generator

In this paper we describe a check of the implementation of SANC system generated modules into the framework of the WINHAC Monte Carlo event generator. At this stage of work we limit ourselves to inclusion of complete one-loop electroweak corrections to the charged-current Drell--Yan process. We perform tuned comparisons of the results derived with the aid of two codes: 1) the standard SANC integrator with YFS-inspired treatment of the ISR QED corrections and 2) the WINHAC generator, upgraded with the SANC electroweak modules and downgraded to the O(α) QED corrections. The aim of these comparisons is to prove the correctness of implementation of the SANC electroweak modules into the WINHAC generator. This is achieved through the presented tuned comparisons.

TERAD91: A Program package for the calculation of the cross sections of deep inelastic NC and CC scattering at HERA

We present a brief description of the recently developed Fortran code TERAD91 for semi-analytical calculations of the double differential cross sections of NC and CC deep inelastic electron-proton scattering and of some related observables. The code is mainly intended for the calculations at HERA or other ep-colliders but may be also used for similar processes like muon-proton scattering in fixed-target experiments.

Electroweak radiative corrections to the three channels of the process f_1 bar-f_1 ZA --> 0

We have calculated the electroweak radiative corrections at the O(alpha) level to the three channels of the process f_1 bar-f_1 Z A --> 0 and implemented them into the SANC system. Here A stands for the photon and f_1 for a first generation fermion whose mass is neglected everywhere except in arguments of logarithmic functions. The symbol --> 0 means that 4-momenta of all the external particles flow inwards. We present the complete analytical results for the covariant and helicity amplitudes for three cross channels: f_1 + bar-f_1 --> Z + gamma, Z --> f_1 + bar-f_1 + gamma and f_1 + gamma --> f_1 + Z. The one-loop scalar form factors of these channels are simply related by an appropriate permutation of their arguments s,t,u. To check the correctness of our results we first of all observe the independence of the scalar form factors on the gauge parameters and the validity of the Ward identity, i.e. external photon transversality, and, secondly, compare our numerical results with the other independent calculations available to us.

SANCnews: Sector ffbb

In this paper we describe the implementation of processes f_1 bar-f_1 ZZ --> 0 and f_1 bar-f_1 HZ --> 0 into the framework of SANC system. The f_1 stands for a massless fermion f whose mass is kept non-zero only in arguments of ln functions and --> 0 means that all 4-momenta flow inwards. The derived scalar form factors can be used for any cross channel after an appropriate permutation of their arguments (s,t,u). We present the covariant and helicity amplitudes for these processes: for the former only in the annihilation channel f_1 bar-f_1 --> ZZ, while for the latter in annihilation f_1 bar-f_1 --> HZ and decay H --> Z f_1 bar-f_1 channels. We briefly describe additional precomputation modules which were not covered in the previous paper. For the processes f_1 bar-f_1 --> HZ(ZZ) and decay H --> Z f_1 bar-f_1 we present compact results of calculation of the accompanying bremsstrahlung and discuss exhaustive numerical results. As applications there are two types of the Monte Carlo generators for the process H --> 4μ. The first one is the generator based on a single resonance approximation for one of the Z bosons. The second one, exploiting the double resonance approximation, is not described in this article. For the generator in the single approximation we present a short description. Whenever possible, we compare our results with those existing in the literature. For example, we present a comparison of the results for H --> 4 μdecay with those obtained by MC generator Prophecy4f.

Tevatron-for-LHC Report: Top and Electroweak Physics

The top quark and electroweak bosons (W and Z) represent the most massive fundamental particles yet discovered, and as such refer directly to the Standard Model's greatest remaining mystery: the mechanism by which all particles gained mass. This report summarizes the work done within the top-ew group of the Tevatron-for-LHC workshop. It represents a collection of both Tevatron results, and LHC predictions. The hope is that by considering and comparing both machines, the LHC program can be improved and aided by knowledge from the Tevatron, and that particle physics as a whole can be enriched. The report includes measurements of the top quark mass, searches for single top quark production, and physics of the electroweak bosons at hadron colliders.

SANCnews: Sector 4f, Charged Current

In this paper we describe the implementation of the charged current decays of the kind t --> b l^+ nu_l (gamma) into framework of SANC system. All calculations are done taking into account one-loop electroweak correction in the Standard Model. The emphasis of this paper is done on the presentation of numerical results. Various distributions are produced by means of a Monte Carlo integrator and event generator. Comparison with the results of CompHEP and PYTHIA packages are presented for the Born and hard photon contributions. The validity of the cascade approximation at one-loop level is also studied.
