NLO QCD Predictions for off-shell $t\bar{t}$ and $t\bar{t}H$ Production and Decay at a Linear Collider

Abstract

We present predictions for $t\bar{t}$ and $t\bar{t}H$ production and decay at future lepton colliders including non-resonant and interference contributions up to next-to-leading order (NLO) in perturbative QCD. The obtained precision predictions are necessary for a future precise determination of the top-quark Yukawa coupling, and allow for top-quark phenomenology in the continuum at an unprecedented level of accuracy. Simulations are performed with the automated NLO Monte-Carlo framework WHIZARD interfaced to the OpenLoops matrix element generator.
