We present theoretical calculations of higher-order QCD and electroweak corrections for the associated production of a top-antitop quark pair and a $W$ boson ($t{\bar t}W$ production) at LHC energies. We show predictions for cross sections…
I will attempt to survey some selected physics issues on QCD interconnection phenomena in the processes $e^+e^-\to W^+W^-\to$ 4 jets and $e^+e^-\to t\bar t \to b W^+\bar b W^-$. Possible consequences for LEP2 and future linear $e^+e^-$…
I give an overview of the recent progress on the matching of fixed-order calculations and parton showers. The focus is on the matching with NNLO QCD corrections as well as with NLO EW ones.
The production of a top-antitop quark pair in association with a $W$ boson ($t\bar tW$) is one of the heaviest signatures currently probed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Since the first observation reported in 2015 the corresponding…
We consider the production of a single $Z$ or $W$ boson in association with jets at the LHC. We compute the corresponding cross sections by matching NLO QCD predictions with the Herwig++ and Pythia8 parton showers, and by merging all of the…
We present next-to-leading order QCD predictions for the total cross section and for a comprehensive set of transverse-momentum distributions in W + 5-jet production at the Large Hadron Collider. We neglect the small contributions from…
In this proceedings we compare phenomenological predictions for differential distributions in top-quark pair production at the LHC. In particular we consider NNLO QCD fixed-order predictions and parton-level predictions based on NLO QCD…
Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the QCD-induced $pp \rightarrow l^+l^- \gamma j j +X$ and $pp \rightarrow \bar{\nu}_l \nu_l \gamma jj+X$ processes are presented. The latter is used to find an optimal cut to reduce the contribution…
The abundant amount of data to be collected by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations in future runs of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN opens up a new era of precision physics. Some of the most prominent precision observables are related to…
We present the status of on-going efforts to compute the two-loop virtual corrections to $pp\to t\bar{t} j$ in the leading colour approximation. We review the recent study of the master integrals and their differential equations and present…
n this letter we investigate the various processes that can contribute to a final state consisting of a lepton, missing transverse momentum and two jets at Next to Leading Order (NLO) at the Tevatron. In particular we consider the…
We briefly report on NLO QCD corrections to the $pp \to t\bar{t} B +X$ process, where $B$ stands for $H,\,W^\pm$ or $Z$. In the calculation all double-, single and non-resonant Feynman diagrams, interferences and finite-width effects are…
We report on a detailed investigation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to $W\gamma$+jet production at the Tevatron and the LHC using a fully-flexible parton-level Monte Carlo program. We include the full leptonic decay of…
Calculations of transverse polarization of leptons in the decay $W\rightarrow l\nu$ with polarized $W$'s are presented. Planned accelerators will produce enough $W$'s for observation of the Standard Model contributions to this polarization.…

We present numerical results for the production of a $W^+W^-$ pair in association with a jet at the LHC in QCD at next-to-leading order (NLO). We include effects of the decay of the massive vector bosons into leptons with spin correlations…
We show that the associated production $pp\to W^{\prime}W$, and the rare decay $pp\to W'\to \bar\ell\ell W$ are useful tests of $W'$ couplings to fermions at future hadron colliders. For $M_{W'}\sim (1 - 3)$ TeV they would allow a clean…
