Description
We present a framework for $q_T$ resummation at N$^3$LL+NNLO accuracy for arbitrary color-singlet processes based on a factorization theorem in SCET. Our implementation CuTe-MCFM is fully differential in the Born kinematics and matches to large-$q_T$ fixed-order predictions at relative order $\alpha_s^2$. It provides an efficient way to estimate uncertainties from fixed-order truncation, resummation, and parton distribution functions. In addition to W$^\pm$, Z and H production, also the diboson processes γγ, Zγ, ZH and W$^\pm$H are available, including decays. We discuss and exemplify the framework with direct comparisons to experimental measurements as well as inclusive benchmark results.
