Top-quark effects in diphoton production through gluon fusion at NLO in QCD

Fabio Maltoni, Manoj K. Mandal, Xiaoran Zhao

At hadron colliders, the leading production mechanism for a pair of photons is from quark-anti-quark annihilation at the tree level. However, due to large gluon-gluon luminosity, t…
