This thesis presents the automation of loop computations for the calculation of Next-to-Leading Order contributions to theoretical predictions for particle colliders. We start with the general techniques for performing such predictions and how they can be ...
We present the complete automation of the computation of one-loop QCD corrections, including UV renormalization, to an arbitrary scattering process in the Standard Model. This is achieved by embedding the OPP integrand reduction technique, as implemented i ...
We present a study of l nu b (b) over bar and l(+)l(-)b (b) over bar production at hadron colliders. Our results, accurate to the next-to-leading order in QCD, are based on automatic matrix-element calculations performed by MadLoop and MadFKS, and are give ...
We present an update of the Binoth Les Houches Accord (BLHA) to standardise the interface between Monte Carlo programs and codes providing one-loop matrix elements. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. ...
This Letter details and discusses the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to t-channel electro-weak W(+)bj production, where finite top-width effects are consistently taken into account. The computation is done within the AMC@NLO framework and includes b ...
We use aMC@NLO to predict the l nu + 2-jet cross section at the NLO accuracy in QCD matched to parton shower simulations. We find that the perturbative expansion is well behaved for all the observables we study, and in particular for those relevant to the ...
We use aMC@NLO to study the production of four charged leptons at the LHC, performing parton showers with both HERWIG and PYTHIA6. Our underlying matrix element calculation features the full next-to-leading order O(alpha(S)) result and the O(alpha(2)(S)) c ...
We present the calculation of scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs production in association with a top-antitop pair to the next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy in QCD, interfaced with parton showers according to the MC@NLO formalism. We apply our results to the ...
