Abstract

As an addendum to our previous evaluation of the weak-interaction corrections to hadronic top-quark pair production we determine the leading weak-interaction contributions due to the subprocesses bbˉttˉb {\bar b} \to t {\bar t} and gq(qˉ)ttˉq(qˉ)g q ({\bar q}) \to t {\bar t} q ({\bar q}). For several distributions in ttˉt {\bar t} production at the LHC we find that these contributions are non-negligible as compared to the weak corrections from the other partonic subprocesses.
