NLO antenna subtraction with massive fermions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an extension of the antenna subtraction formalism at NLO to include massive final state fermions. The basic ingredients to the subtraction terms, the NLO massive final-final antenna functions are derived and integrated over the corresponding factorised phase space. Those antenna functions account for all soft, collinear and quasi-collinear limits of the QCD matrix elements involving massive fermions in the final state.

Antenna subtraction with hadronic initial states
The antenna subtraction method for the computation of higher order corrections to jet observables and exclusive cross sections at collider experiments is extended to include hadronic initial states. In addition to the already known antenna subtraction with both radiators in the final state (final-final antennae), we introduce antenna subtractions with one or two radiators in the initial state (...
متن کاملQuark-Gluon Antenna Functions from Neutralino Decay
The computation of exclusive QCD jet observables at higher orders requires a method for the subtraction of infrared singular configurations arising from multiple radiation of real partons. One commonly used method at next-to-leading order (NLO) is based on the antenna factorization of colour-ordered matrix elements, and uses antenna functions to subtract the real radiation singularities. Up to ...
متن کاملAutomating dipole subtraction for QCD NLO calculations
In this publication the construction of an automatic algorithm to subtract infrared divergences in real QCD corrections through the Catani-Seymour dipole subtraction method [1] is reported. The resulting computer code has been implemented in the matrix element generator AMEGIC++ [2]. This will allow for the automatic generation of dipole subtraction terms and their integrals over the oneparton ...

I review progress related to the calculation of QCD jet cross sections at the NLO accuracy. After a short introduction into the theory of NLO calculations, I discuss two recent developments: the calculation of twoand three-jet leptoproduction at the NLO accuracy and the extension of the dipole subtraction method for computing NLO corrections for processes involving massive partons. Jet cross se...
متن کاملNLO QCD corrections to tri-boson production
We present a calculation of the NLO QCD corrections for the production of three vector bosons at the LHC, namely ZZZ, WWZ, WZZ, and WWW production. The virtual corrections are computed using the recently proposed method of reduction at the integrand level (OPP reduction). Concerning the contributions coming from real emission we used the dipole subtraction to treat the soft and collinear diverg...
