Infrared QCD resummations at hadron colliders

In this thesis we study two different processes at hadron colliders: Z-boson production and dijet production with a jet veto. Our calculations focus on the resummation of logarithmically enhanced contributions coming from soft and/or collinear gluon emission. For Z-boson production, we calculate the...
