NNLO QCD predictions for ttW production at the LHC
Xiang Chen
Abstract
The production of a top-antitop quark pair in association with a W boson (ttW) is one of the heaviest signatures currently explored at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the corresponding rates have been found to be consistently higher than the Standard Model predictions, highlighting the need for more accurate theoretical predictions. In this contribution, I present next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) predictions for this process, in which, for the first time, the necessary two-loop amplitudes are explicitly evaluated in the generalised leading-colour limit.
