Two-Loop Five-Point Two-Mass Planar Integrals and Double Lagrangian Insertions in a Wilson Loop / Abreu, Samuel (CERN ; U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Chicherin, Dmitry (Annecy, LAPTH) ; Sotnikov, Vasily (Zurich U.) ; Zoia, Simone (CERN)
We consider the complete set of planar two-loop five-point Feynman integrals with two off-shell external legs. These integrals are relevant, for instance, for the calculation of the second-order QCD corrections to the production of two heavy vector bosons in association with a jet or a photon at a hadron collider.

Overview of $B \to K^{(*)}\ell \ell$ Theoretical Calculations and Uncertainties / Mahmoudi, Farvah (IP2I, Lyon ; CERN ; IUF, Paris) ; Monceaux, Yann (IP2I, Lyon)
The search for New Physics (NP) beyond the Standard Model (SM) has been a central focus of particle physics, including in the context of $B$-meson decays involving $b \to s \ell \ell$ transitions. These transitions, mediated by flavour-changing neutral currents, are highly sensitive to small NP effects due to their suppression in the SM. [...]

Four-loop two-mass tadpoles and the $\rho$ parameter / Abreu, Samuel (CERN ; U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Behring, Arnd (CERN) ; McLeod, Andrew J. (CERN ; U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Page, Ben (CERN ; Gent U.)
We calculate four-loop QCD corrections to the electroweak $\rho$ parameter with a non-vanishing $b$ quark mass. At three loops, it was observed that elliptic integrals contribute to this observable. [...]

Toponium hunter’s guide / Aguilar-Saavedra, J.A. (Madrid, IFT)
We address the discovery and characterisation of toponium production at the Large Hadron Collider. In the dilepton decay mode, multivariate analyses of spin and colour observables could provide evidence that an excess of events present near the $t \bar t$ threshold corresponds to a spin-zero colour singlet. [...]

Absorbing discretization effects with a massive renormalization scheme: The charm-quark mass / Del Debbio, Luigi (Edinburgh U.) ; Erben, Felix (CERN) ; Flynn, Jonathan M. (Southampton U.) ; Mukherjee, Rajnandini (Southampton U.) ; Tsang, J. Tobias (CERN) /RBC Collaboration ; UKQCD Collaboration
We present the first numerical implementation of the massive SMOM (mSMOM) renormalization scheme and use it to calculate the charm quark mass. Based on ensembles with three flavours of dynamical domain wall fermions with lattice spacings in the range 0.11 -- 0.08 fm, we demonstrate that the mass scale which defines the mSMOM scheme can be chosen such that the extrapolation has significantly smaller discretisation effects than the SMOM scheme.

QCD corrections to Higgs boson production and $H \to b \bar{b}$ decay in weak boson fusion / Asteriadis, Konstantin (Regensburg U.) ; Behring, Arnd (CERN) ; Melnikov, Kirill (KIT, Karlsruhe, TTP) ; Novikov, Ivan (KIT, Karlsruhe, TTP) ; Röntsch, Raoul (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.)
We study QCD corrections to the process where a Higgs boson is produced in weak boson fusion and then decays into a pair of massive $b$ quarks. We find that typical experimental criteria used to identify $b$ jets in this process affect QCD corrections to the decay, making it necessary to account for them in the proper description of this process.

The three-loop single-mass heavy flavor corrections to deep-inelastic scattering / Ablinger, J. (Linz U., RISC ; OAW, Linz, RICAM) ; Behring, A. (CERN) ; Blümlein, J. (DESY, Zeuthen ; Dortmund U.) ; De Freitas, A. (Linz U., RISC ; DESY, Zeuthen) ; von Manteuffel, A. (Regensburg U.) ; Schneider, C. (Linz U., RISC) ; Schönwald, K. (Zurich U.)
We report on the status of the calculation of the massive Wilson coefficients and operator matrix elements for deep-inelastic scatterung to three-loop order. We discuss both the unpolarized and the polarized case, for which all the single-mass and nearly all two-mass contributions have been calculated [...]

Towards the next Kira release / Lange, Fabian (Zurich U. ; PSI, Villigen) ; Usovitsch, Johann (CERN) ; Wu, Zihao (HIAS, UCAS, Hangzhou)
The reduction of Feynman integrals to a basis of master integrals plays a crucial role for many high-precision calculations and Kira is one of the leading tools for this task. In these proceedings we discuss some of the new features and improvements currently being developed for the next release..

Theory-Driven Evolution of the Weak Mixing Angle / Erler, Jens (Mainz U., Inst. Phys. ; U. Mainz, PRISMA) ; Ferro-Hernandez, Rodolfo (Mainz U., Inst. Phys. ; U. Mainz, PRISMA) ; Kuberski, Simon (CERN)
We present the first purely theoretical calculation of the weak mixing angle in the MS scheme at low energies by combining results from lattice QCD with perturbation theory. We discuss its correlation with the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and to the energy dependence of the electromagnetic coupling. [...]
