Further kinematical variables are suggested, in which to compare the putative leptonic $W$ plus 4-jet top quark signal with the QCD background. We show that the lepton rapidity asymmetry, the $p_T$-ranking of the tagged $b$-jet, the…
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…
We show that the signature of two boosted $W$-jets plus large missing energy is very promising to probe heavy charged resonances ($X^\pm$) through the process of $pp\to X^+X^-\to W^+W^- X^0 X^0$ where $X^0$ denotes dark matter candidate.…

We discuss the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to Z boson production in association with a jet including all partonic channels at all color levels and including the leptonic decay of the Z boson. We focus on the…
Events with a leptonic W-decay plus jets should contain top-quark signals, but a QCD W+jets background must be separated. We compare transverse W-momentum, jet multiplicity, and b-tagging separation criteria, and find that the main…
