Description
We present new results for the invariant-mass distribution and total cross section for four-top production, incorporating the resummation of soft-gluon corrections at improved next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, including non-logarithmic $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s)$ terms (NLL’ accuracy). After discussing the challenges of invariant-mass threshold resummation in processes with six coloured legs, we present our resummed predictions matched to fixed-order NLO calculations. Our results modify the shape of the fixed-order invariant-mass distribution and significantly reduce theoretical uncertainties.
