Top-Antitop Production and Decay at Threshold at the LHC in QCD Perturbation Theory
Paolo Nason, Giovanni Pelliccioli, Emanuele Re +1
In this work we consider the production of a top-antitop pair at the LHC when the mass of the pair is relatively near to the nominal threshold, that is to say to twice the top pole…
Resonance-aware parton-shower matching for off-shell top-antitop production with semi-leptonic decays at electron-positron colliders
Ansgar Denner, Daniele Lombardi, Mathieu Pellen +1
We present full off-shell NLO corrections in QCD obtained with the MoCaNLO code matched to parton shower. A resonance-aware matching procedure has been devised for the MC@NLO metho…
The cleanest of them all: NLO electroweak corrections to vector-boson scattering into doubly polarised ZZ pairs at the LHC
Ansgar Denner, Robert Franken, Santiago Lopez Portillo Chavez +2
We present the first calculation of the next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to vector-boson scattering into doubly polarised Z bosons at the LHC in the fully leptonic dec…
Higher-order effects in amplitude-assisted polarisation extraction with machine-learning techniques
Juan M. Cruz-Martinez, Jakob Linder, Mathieu Pellen +2
With increasing experimental precision, the prospect of extracting the polarisation of electroweak gauge bosons is becoming particularly attractive. To this end, regression and cla…
MoCaNLO: a Monte Carlo integrator for NLO calculations
A. Denner, D. Lombardi, S. Lopez Portillo Chavez +2
We present the Monte Carlo integration code MoCaNLO, which computes cross sections and distributions for processes at high-energy colliders like the LHC at leading and next-to-lead…
Polarized-boson pairs at NLO in the SMEFT
Ulrich Haisch, Jakob Linder, Giovanni Pelliccioli +2
We present a computation of diboson production in the channel at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), incorporating leptonic decays of the gauge bosons and considering interm…
