چکیده

We present the program Top++ for the numerical evaluation of the total inclusive cross-section for producing top quark pairs at hadron colliders. The program calculates the cross-section in a) fixed order approach with exact next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) accuracy and b) by including soft-gluon resummation for the hadronic cross-section in Mellin space with full next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy. The program offers the user significant flexibility through the large number (29) of available options. Top++ is written in C++. It has a very simple to use interface that is intuitive and directly reflects the physics. The running of the program requires no programing experience from the user.

Top Quark Production at Hadron Colliders: an Overview

The study of the properties of the top quark is one of the main goals of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) physics program. The experimental precision expected at the LHC requires the calculation of several top-quark related observables beyond leading order in the strong coupling constant. In this work we briefly review the status of the theoretical predictions for the top-quark production proces...

NNLO corrections to top-pair production at hadron colliders: the all-fermionic scattering channels

This is a second paper in our ongoing calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD correction to the total inclusive top-pair production cross-section at hadron colliders. In this paper we calculate the reaction qq̄ → tt̄+ qq̄ which was not considered in our previous work on qq̄ → tt̄ +X [1] due to its phenomenologically negligible size. We also calculate all remaining fermion-pair-in...

Electroweak corrections to top-quark pair production in quark–antiquark annihilation

Top-quark physics plays an important rôle at hadron colliders such as the Tevatron at Fermilab or the LHC at CERN. Given the planned precision at these colliders, precise theoretical predictions are required. In this paper we present the complete electroweak corrections to QCD-induced top-quark pair production in quark–antiquark annihilation. In particular we provide compact analytic expression...

On the Soft-Gluon Resummation in Top Quark Pair Production at Hadron Colliders

We uncover a contribution to the NLO/NLL threshold resummed total cross section for top quark pair production at hadron colliders, which has not been taken into account in earlier literature. We derive this contribution – the difference between the singlet and octet hard (matching) coefficients – in exact analytic form. The numerical impact of our findings on the Sudakov resummed cross section ...

THE FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES NEXT-TO-LEADING-ORDER CORRECTIONS TO WEAK BOSON PRODUCTION WITH A MASSIVE QUARK JET PAIR AT HADRON COLLIDERS By FERNANDO FEBRES CORDERO

We present the calculation of Next-to-Leading-Order Quantum Chromo Dynamics corrections for the production of a W or Z weak boson associated with a bottom anti-bottom quark pair at hadron colliders (pp̄, pp → W/Z bb̄), including the effects of a non-zero bottomquark mass. We find a considerable reduction of the renormalization and factorization scale dependence of our results with respect to Lead...
