In this article, we report on the computation of the NLO QCD corrections to ${\rm p}{\rm p} \to \mu^-\bar\nu_{\mu}{\rm e}^+\nu_{\rm e}\bar{\rm b}{\rm b}\bar{\rm b}{\rm b}$ at the LHC, which is an irreducible background to ${\rm p}{\rm…
The calculation of $t\bar{t}Z$ production including leptonic decays of both $Z$ boson and top quarks via a partially or fully off-shell calculation represents a definite step forward towards a more accurate description of events whose…
In this article we present the next-to-leading order QCD predictions for $Wb\bar{b}+n$-jet ($n=0,1,2,3$) production at the Large Hadron Collider with $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. We work in the four-flavor number scheme with a non-vanishing…
We consider QCD radiative corrections to $W^+W^-b {\bar b}$ production with leptonic decays and massive bottom quarks at the LHC. We perform an exact next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation within the $q_T$-subtraction formalism and…
A precise measurement of the top quark mass, a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model, is among the most important goals of top quark studies at the Large Hadron Collider. Apart from the standard methods, numerous new observables and…
We discuss the results for the four-top quark production process at the LHC at NLO accuracy in perturbative QCD for the $3\ell$ decay channel. The QCD corrections are applied in both the production and the decay stages of the four top…
We present a fully-differential and high-precision calculation of top-quark pair-production and decay at the LHC, providing predictions for observables constructed from top-quark leptonic and $b$-flavoured jet final states. The calculation…
We discuss top-quark physics at the ILC with a focus on the full off-shell processes for $t\bar{t}$ and $t\bar{t}H$ production, including top-quark decays and also leptonic $W$ decays. A special focus is on the matching of the resummed…
We present predictions for the production and decay of a top--antitop pair in association with a Z boson in the multi-lepton decay channel at the LHC. Our results include the complete set of LO and NLO contributions. Since our calculation…
A short summary of results for top-quark pair production in association with a jet with NLO QCD off-shell effects at the LHC is given. The calculation is based on the matrix element for the $pp \to e^+ \nu_e \mu^-\bar{\nu}_\mu b\bar{b} j$…
The study of top-quark properties will be a central aspect of the physics programme of any future lepton collider. In this article, we investigate the production of top-quark pairs in the semi-leptonic decay channel in $\rm e^+e^-$…
We present a fully differential next-to-next-to-leading order calculation of t-channel single top-quark production and decay at the LHC under narrow-width approximation and neglecting cross-talk between incoming protons. We focus on the…
We present a detailed phenomenological study of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections for $t$-channel single top (anti-)quark production and its semi-leptonic decay at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We find the…
With the goal of increasing the precision of NLO QCD predictions for the $pp\to t\bar{t} \gamma$ process in the di-lepton top quark decay channel we present theoretical predictions for the ${\cal R}=…
In this work we present a calculation of both t-channel and s-channel single-top production at next-to-leading order in QCD for the Tevatron and for the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. All the cross sections and kinematical…
The production of a single top quark in association with a $\mathrm{Z}$ boson ($\mathrm{t}\mathrm{Z}\mathrm{j}$ production) at the LHC is a relevant probe of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model as well as a window to possible…
In this article we calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections for single on-shell top-quark production in association with two jets at proton-proton colliders. The tW channel is assumed to be measured independently. The QCD…
We briefly summarise the results for the four top-quark production process in the 4$\ell$ decay channel at NLO accuracy in perturbative QCD. We employ the narrow-width approximation for the treatment of the unstable particles, preserving…
In these proceedings, next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD and electroweak (EW) corrections to ${\rm p}{\rm p} \to {\rm e}^+ \nu_{\rm e} \mu^- \bar \nu_\mu {\rm b} \bar{\rm b} {\rm H}$ at the LHC are presented. In these computations the top…
We present state-of-the-art predictions for $t\bar{t}\gamma$ and $t\bar{t}Z(Z \to \nu_\ell\bar{\nu}_\ell)$ production in the fully leptonic channel at the LHC. The first process can provide key information on the strength and structure of…
