Recently, a model for colorful black hole production and decay in proton–proton collisions has been constructed. These results can be extended to a multiverse, because it is obvious that there is enough energy in cosmic rays to produce a baby Universe. It is observed that these Universes are defined by their gauge charges. Notably, Universes can have a color charge. This is not in contradiction with confinement because the typical length scale of QCD (i.e., a Fermi) is much larger than the size of a baby Universe at its birth. These colorful Universes can interact with each other, annihilate, and form a color singlet Universe. Next, it is argued that color confinement may generate an entanglement between colorful dark energy Universes to form a color singlet binary system. Finally, the production cross section for entangled colorful dark energy Universes in a multiverse is obtained. It is found that the cross section of a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker Universe is much larger for smaller values of the Hubble parameter. Also, this cross section is greater for entangled open Universes and smaller for entangled closed Universes.

Abstract We demonstrate how to efficiently expand cross sections for color-singlet production at hadron colliders around the kinematic limit of all final state radiation being collinear to one of the incoming hadrons. This expansion is systematically improvable and applicable to a large class of physical observables. We demonstrate the viability of this technique by obtaining the first two terms in the collinear expansion of the rapidity distribution of the gluon fusion Higgs boson production cross section at next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) in QCD perturbation theory. Furthermore, we illustrate how this technique is used to extract universal building blocks of scattering cross section like the N-jettiness and transverse momentum beam function at NNLO.
