We analyse the production of a top quark pair through a heavy scalar at the LHC. We first review the main features of the signal as well as the interference with the top-anti-top background at leading order in QCD. We then study higher…
We present a computation of QCD next-to-leading order corrections to the top production and decay process at linear colliders. The top quarks are allowed to be off-shell and the production and decay subprocesses are treated together, thus…
We briefly summarise the results for the four top-quark production process in the 4$\ell$ decay channel at NLO accuracy in perturbative QCD. We employ the narrow-width approximation for the treatment of the unstable particles, preserving…
We discuss the results for the four-top quark production process at the LHC at NLO accuracy in perturbative QCD for the $3\ell$ decay channel. The QCD corrections are applied in both the production and the decay stages of the four top…

At hadron colliders, the leading production mechanism for a pair of photons is from quark-anti-quark annihilation at the tree level. However, due to large gluon-gluon luminosity, the loop-induced process $gg\to \gamma \gamma$ provides a…
