The calculation of exclusive cross sections at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD requires an analytic understanding of the infrared singular structure with up to two unresolved partons. This has so far only been achieved for…

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…
