NEXT-TO-NEXT-TO-LEADING ORDER SOFT AND VIRTUAL CORRECTIONS FOR QCD, HIGGS AND SUSY PROCESSES
Abstract
We review recent advances in the calculation of higher-order soft-gluon corrections for a variety of QCD, Higgs, and SUSY processes in hadron colliders. A unified approach and master formulas for next-to-next-to-leading order soft and virtual corrections are discussed. We present some applications of the formalism to top quark pair production at the Tevatron and the LHC, top production via anomalous couplings in flavor-changing neutral-current processes, W boson hadroproduction at large transverse momentum, and charged Higgs production at the LHC.
