High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-08-25 v1

Abstract

The complete next-to-next-to-leading order (i.e. O(v2)O(v^2), O(vαs)O(v \alpha_s) and O(αs2)O(\alpha_s^2)) relativistic corrections to the total photon mediated ttˉt\bar t production cross section at threshold are presented in the framework of nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics. The results are obtained using semi-analytic methods and ``direct matching''. The size of the next-to-next-to-leading order relativistic corrections is found to be comparable to the size of the next-to-leading order ones.
