Improving predictions for the pp → tt̅W+ process at the LHC with the MINLO method
Abstract
We compare the standard NLO and MiNLO approaches for the full off-shell pp → tt̅W+ + X process at the LHC, at both the integrated and differential cross-section levels. Contrary to NLO, in the MiNLO approach, which is now also available within the HELAC-NLO framework, renormalization and factorization scales are dynamically extracted and Sudakov form factors are incorporated. Results are particularly presented for the pp → tt̅W+j process at NLO accuracy in perturbative QCD using two different scale choices. Merged predictions up to two jets to improve the overall modeling of the full off-shell pp → tt̅W+ + X process are also discussed.
