Top quark production at the Tevatron at NNLO
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present results for top quark production at the Tevatron including next-to-nextto-leading order (NNLO) soft-gluon corrections. We show the stability of the cross section with respect to kinematics choice and scale when the NNLO corrections are taken into account. Presented at the HEP2003 Europhysics Conference, Aachen, Germany, 17-23 July, 2003.

Top quark and charged Higgs production at hadron colliders
I present a brief theoretical update on top quark pair production at the Tevatron and give values of the NNLO-NNNLL cross section for both mt = 175 and 178 GeV. I then present a calculation of the cross section for charged Higgs production in association with a top quark at the LHC, including NNLO soft-gluon corrections. 1 Top quark production at the Tevatron The properties of the top quark, in...

متن کاملTheoretical Results for Top Quark Production
I discuss and compare several approaches to higher-order calculations of top quark production. I study the relative effectiveness of the approaches in approximating the exact NNLO results for the top-pair total cross section and highlight the theoretical and numerical differences between them. I show that the results from my soft-gluon resummation method are nearly identical to the exact NNLO c...
متن کاملNNLL Threshold Resummation for Top-pair and Single-top Production
I discuss threshold resummation at NNLL accuracy in the standard moment-space approach in perturbative QCD for top-pair and single-top production. For top quark pair production I present new approximate NNLO results for the total cross section and for the top quark transverse momentum and rapidity distributions at 8 TeV LHC energy. I discuss the accuracy of the soft-gluon approximation and show...
متن کاملHiggs boson production at LHC to NNLO accuracy and finite top quark mass effects
In this contribution we consider the production of a Standard Model Higgs boson to next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy taking into account a finite top quark mass. This result improves the one based on the effective theory and is important for precise predictions of Higgs boson production both at Tevatron and LHC. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Att...
