High-order threshold corrections for top-pair and single-top production

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-09-28 v1

Abstract

I present results for high-order corrections from threshold resummation to cross sections and differential distributions in top-antitop pair production and in single-top production. I show aN3^3LO results for the total ttˉt{\bar t} cross section as well as for the top-quark transverse momentum (pTp_T) and rapidity distributions, and the top-quark forward-backward asymmetry in ttˉt{\bar t} production. I compare with the most recent Tevatron and LHC data, including at 13 TeV. I also present aNNLO results for cross sections and pTp_T distributions in tt-channel, ss-channel, and tWtW-channel single-top production.
