Introduction: Six in ten patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) do not respond to the first-line treatments with serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) or cognitive behavioural therapy including exposure and response prevention (CBT/ERP), and several do not respond to second-line treatments, i.e., SRI-second generation antipsychotic (SGA) or SRI-CBT/ERP augmentation.

We consider direct diphoton production in hadron collisions, and we compute the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD radiative corrections at the fully differential level. Our calculation uses the q(T) subtraction formalism, and it is implemented in a parton-level Monte Carlo program. The program allows the user to apply arbitrary kinematical cuts on the final-state photons and the associated jet activity and to compute the corresponding distributions in the form of bin histograms.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study focuses on the QCD (Quantum Chromodynamics) radiative corrections for the production of W and Z bosons in hadron collisions and presents a detailed calculation up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD perturbation theory.
  • - The authors utilize a new subtraction method to handle complex aspects like gamma-Z interference, the finite width of bosons, their leptonic decay, and spin correlations in their calculations.
  • - Results from this work are implemented in a Monte Carlo program that allows users to apply specific kinematic cuts on final-state leptons and jets, with numerical examples provided for the Fermilab Tevatron and the LHC.

An exaggerated sense of responsibility is currently considered as the ground for the obsessive-compulsive disorder. Obsessive-like behaviors, such as hesitations and checks, may be induced in non-clinical subjects by increasing perceived responsibility (i.e.
