Journal Article

At high values of the pair invariant mass the differential cross section for top-quark pair production at hadron colliders factorizes into soft, hard, and fragmentation functions. In this paper we calculate the next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) co... Read More about The NNLO soft function for the pair invariant mass distribution of boosted top quarks..

Soft-gluon resummation for boosted top-quark production at hadron colliders. (2012)
Journal Article

We investigate the production of highly energetic top-quark pairs at hadron colliders, focusing on the case where the invariant mass of the pair is much larger than the mass of the top quark. In particular, we set up a factorization formalism appropr... Read More about Soft-gluon resummation for boosted top-quark production at hadron colliders..

Top-quark production and QCD. (2012)
Journal Article
Kidonakis, N., & Pecjak, B. D. (2012). Top-quark production and QCD. The European Physical Journal C, 72(7), Article 2084. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-012-2084-0

We review theoretical calculations for top-quark production that include complete next-to-leading-order QCD corrections as well as higher-order soft-gluon corrections from threshold resummation. We discuss in detail the differences between various ap... Read More about Top-quark production and QCD..
