Theoretical calculations for production
arXiv:2610.15100
Abstract
We calculate higher-order perturbative corrections for production. By adding second-order and third-order soft-gluon corrections to NLO QCD and NLO electroweak (EW) results, we present total and differential cross sections at LHC energies through approximate NLO (aNLO) in QCD and NLO in EW. Our aNLO QCD + NLO EW results provide significant enhancements and a reduced scale dependence for the cross section and the top-quark transverse-momentum and rapidity distributions.
