NNNLO results on top-quark pair production near threshold

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We present new results on the NNNLO top-antitop production cross section near threshold from potential and ultrasoft gluon corrections. The new non-logarithmic third-order terms are in the 10% range and lead to a significant reduction in the theoretical error.
