A Double-Dilaton Holographic Model of QCD: Running Coupling and Meson Phenomenology

Abstract

We present a holographic model of QCD to study the strong coupling constant $α_s$ from the low-energy region to the high-energy regime. The approach uses a double-dilaton background, which breaks conformal and chiral symmetries, while large-$N_c$ corrections are incorporated to connect the holographic description with perturbative QCD. The model leads to an infrared fixed point and provides a smooth transition to the pQCD running. The resulting background also produces linear Regge trajectories for scalar, vector, and tensor states in reasonable agreement with experimental data.

Resumming transverse observables for NNLO+PS matching in GENEVA

We study the use of higher-order resummation for transverse observables to achieve NNLO+PS matching within the GENEVA framework. In particular, we embed $q_T$ resummation for colour-singlet production at N$^3$LL obtained via soft-collinear effective theory and implemented in the library SCETlib within GENEVA. We also study for the first time the use of the generalised $N$-jettiness variable in parton shower matching, and achieve the resummation of the one-jettiness defined with transverse measures up to NLL$'$ accuracy. As a case study, we use these resummed calculations to construct a GENEVA NNLO+PS generator for Higgs boson production in heavy-quark annihilation (with beauty or charm-quarks in the initial state). The use of transverse measures facilitates the matching to showers ordered in transverse momentum, and opens the door to possible future extensions of this approach to the production of colour singlets in association with final-state jets.

Matching HEFT and SMEFT in double and triple Higgs production from weak boson fusion

In this work we study the matching between the two most popular effective field theories for beyond standard model Higgs physics, SMEFT and HEFT. To perform this matching we follow the approach of identifying the corresponding scattering amplitudes for physical processes in both theories, instead of the most usual approach of relating the corresponding effective Lagrangians or effective actions. In this work we focus on the physical processes of double and triple Higgs production from weak boson fusion, in particular, $WW \to HH$, $ZZ \to HH$, $WW \to HHH$ and $ZZ \to HHH$ and complement them with the elastic scattering $HH \to HH$. We present here the analytical solution to this matching in terms of relations among the coefficients in both theories and comment on the most relevant phenomenological implications of such relations for collider physics.
