I will talk about results of a NLO QCD calculation to top quark pair production and decay at the LHC. The inclusion of top quark decays in the prediction allows for a fully realistic description of the final state at NLO QCD. In particular, I will point out the importance of spin correlations and corrections to the decay. I will also focus on results for top quark pair production in...

In this talk we present the calculation of the next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to W/Z-boson + jet production including leptonic W/Z-boson decays. The vector-boson resonances are treated consistently using the complex-mass scheme, and all off-shell effects are taken into account. The corresponding next-to-leading-order QCD corrections have also been recalculated. All the results...

We review the status of the theoretical predictions for the top-anti top
production in hadronic collisions, paying particular attention to the pair
production at the LHC. We stress the need for a complete theoretical
analysis that includes higher-order quantum corrections and we
discuss recent theoretical calculations at the level of NNLO.

Using Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, a closed-form, all-order expression for the Drell-Yan cross section at small transverse momentum is derived, which is free of large perturbative logarithms. The anomalous dimensions and matching coefficients necessary for resummation at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order are given explicitly. The precise relation between the effective-theory result...

We consider the transverse-momentum (q_T) distribution of Drell--Yan lepton pairs produced in hadron collisions. At small values of q_T, we resum the logarithmically-enhanced perturbative QCD contributions up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. At intermediate and large values of q_T, we consistently combine resummation with the known next-to-leading order perturbative result. All...
