Event details

I will discuss the NLO QCD corrections to top quark pair production in association with a jet in the di-lepton channel. The calculation includes all non-resonant diagrams, interferences and off-shell effects of the top quark, as well as non-resonant and off-shell effects due to the finite W gauge boson width. This constitutes the first fully realistic NLO computation for top quark pair production with a final state jet in hadronic collisions. I will also present numerical results for total cross sections and differential distributions for the LHC at 8 and 13 TeV.
