Towards a precise determination of the order of the phase transition in compact pure gauge QED
Abstract We present results obtained with a new numerical method, which in principle allows to determine the partition function of a lattice gauge theory, and its derivatives, with an accuracy dictated only by statistical fluctuations. We have used this method in order to determine the order of the phase transition of pure gauge, compact QED and we ...

ISR corrections to associated HZ production at future Higgs factories
We evaluate the QED corrections due to initial state radiation (ISR) to associated Higgs boson production in electron–positron (e+e−) annihilation at typical energies of interest for the measurement of the Higgs properties at future e+e− colliders, such ...

High precision tests of QED and physics beyond the standard model [PDF]
. We study the four most significant high precision observables of QED -the anomalous electron and muon magnetic moments, the hydrogen Lamb shift and muonium hyperfine splitting-in the context of SU (2) ⊗ U (1) gauge-invariant effective Lagrangians.

Precision study of positronium and precision tests of the bound state quantum electrodynamics [PDF]
Despite its very short lifetime positronium provides us with a number of accurate tests of the bound state quantum electrodynamics (QED). In this note a brief overview of QED theory and precision experiments on the spectrum and annihilation decay of the ...

Isospin Violating Hadronic Mass Splittings using Lattice QCD+QED [PDF]
The composition and structure of matter has excited scientific thought for millennia. One of the highlights of the previous century was the development of the theories of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and quantum electrodynamics (QED), which reveal an ...

Combining QED and QCD transverse-momentum resummation for Z boson production at hadron colliders
We consider the transverse-momentum (q T ) distribution of Z bosons produced in hadronic collisions. At small values of q T , we perform the analytic resummation of the logarithmically enhanced QED contributions up to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy,
