Resonance-aware subtraction in the dipole method
arXiv:1807.04348 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7212-7
Abstract
We present a technique for infrared subtraction in next-to-leading order QCD calculations that preserves the virtuality of resonant propagators. The approach is based on the pseudo-dipole subtraction method proposed by Catani and Seymour in the context of identified particle production. As the first applications, we compute the ee > WWbb and pp > WWjbjb cross-section, which are both dominated by top-quark pair production above the threshold. We compare the efficiency of our approach with a calculation performed using the standard dipole subtraction technique.
