Theoretical results for top-quark cross sections and distributions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2023-02-21 v1

Abstract

I present new results and updates for total cross sections and differential distributions in top-antitop pair and single-top production. Soft-gluon corrections are added to exact fixed-order results to provide the best predictions at approximate N3^3LO for ttˉt{\bar t} production and approximate NNLO for single-top production. Total cross sections and top-quark transverse-momentum and rapidity distributions are presented and compared with data at LHC and Tevatron energies. The cusp anomalous dimension at three and higher loops is also discussed.
