NLO QCD corrections to WWbb production and top quark observables

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-12-25 v2

Abstract

We present the NLO QCD corrections to the production of a W+W- pair and two b-jets, including the leptonic decays of the W bosons. Contributions from singly resonant and non-resonant top quarks are fully taken into account. We also discuss observables relevant for top quark mass measurements and top quark asymmetries.
