Description

We present theoretical calculations of total cross sections and top-quark transverse-momentum and rapidity distributions in the associated production of a top-antitop pair with a photon ($t{\bar t}\gamma$ production). We include complete QCD and electroweak corrections at NLO as well as soft-gluon corrections at approximate NNLO (aNNLO). The aNNLO corrections are very significant, they decrease theoretical uncertainties, and they are needed for better comparison with data from the LHC.
