We report a calculation of approximate next-to-next-to-leading-order (N$^2$LO) and next-to-N$^2$LO (N$^3$LO) QCD corrections to associated $tW$ production at the LHC, which constitute the dominant contributions to full perturbative…

It has been shown that AdS/CFT calculations can reproduce certain exclusive 2->2 cross sections in QCD at high energy, both for near-forward and for fixed-angle scattering. In this paper, we extend prior treatments by using AdS/CFT to…
The high luminosity that will be accumulated at the LHC will enable precise differential measurements of the hadronic production of a top--antitop-quark pair in association with a $\text{W}$ boson. Therefore, an accurate description of this…
