We formulate PanScales parton showers for hadron collisions so as to achieve next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy across a broad set of observables. We do so specifically for colour singlet production. Relative to the existing…
We consider whether Wt production can be considered as a distinct production process at the LHC, separate from top pair production with which it interferes. We argue that this problem can be meaningfully addressed in an MC@NLO calculation,…
