We compute the contribution of order alpha(2)(S)alpha(2) to the cross section of a top-antitop pair in association with at least one heavy Standard Model boson - Z, W-+/-, and Higgs - by including all effects of QCD, QED, and weak origin and by working in the automated MADGRAPH5_AMC@NLO framework. This next-to-leading order contribution is then combined with that of order alpha(3)(S)alpha, and with the two dominant lowest-order ones, alpha(2)(S)alpha and alpha(S)alpha(2), to obtain phenomenological results relevant to a 8, 13, and 100TeV pp collider.

MadFlow: automating Monte Carlo simulation on GPU for particle physics processes

Stefano Carrazza, Juan Cruz-Martinez, Marco Rossi, Marco Zaro

Summary: MadFlow is a general-purpose framework for MC event simulation in particle physics, optimized for hardware accelerators like GPUs. It automates the generation and deployment of components for MC simulation using MadGraph5_aMC@NLO framework, with the ability to export code in GPU format. The simulation can be performed on systems with different hardware acceleration capabilities, providing an asynchronous unweighted events procedure to store simulation results. Despite automating only the Leading Order, the framework offers all necessary ingredients for building complex Monte Carlo simulators in a modern, extensible, and maintainable manner.

Vector-Boson scattering at the LHC: Unraveling the electroweak sector

Roberto Covarelli, Mathieu Pellen, Marco Zaro

Summary: This review focuses on the salient aspects of Vector-boson scattering (VBS) processes, discussing theoretical advancements, experimental techniques, relevant measurements, and comparisons with Standard Model predictions. The future prospects at upcoming Large Hadron Collider runs and future hadron facilities are also considered in the discussion.

One-loop electroweak Sudakov logarithms: a revisitation and automation

Davide Pagani, Marco Zaro

Summary: In this work, the algorithm of Denner and Pozzorini for calculating one-loop electroweak Sudakov logarithms is revisited and automated in the MadGraph5_aMC-@NLO framework. By adapting the formulas for modern calculations and extending the algorithm to include NLO EW corrections with QCD corrections, a new approach is proposed where the QED component is consistently removed. The relevance of these innovations is confirmed by numerical results obtained for several processes.

Single top production in association with a WZ pair at the LHC in the SMEFT

Hesham El Faham, Fabio Maltoni, Ken Mimasu, Marco Zaro

Summary: This study focuses on the production of single top quark in association with a WZ pair at the LHC, considering both the Standard Model (SM) and the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). Compared to other electroweak top production processes, tWZ has the advantage of being sensitive to unitarity-violating behavior induced in its 2 -> 2 sub-amplitudes through modified electroweak interactions. The study presents reliable results for total and differential cross sections for tWZ at 13TeV, including the relevant dimension-6 operators.

Local unitarity: cutting raised propagators and localising renormalisation

Zeno Capatti, Valentin Hirschi, Ben Ruijl

Summary: The study addresses two challenges in applying local unitarity representation to higher-loop computations, namely the generalization to graphs with raised propagators and the regularization of ultraviolet and spurious soft singularities. The researchers develop a hybrid (MS) over bar and On-Shell scheme using an all-order construction and a fully automated local renormalization procedure based on Bogoliubov's R-operation. They validate the new technology by calculating (semi-)inclusive results for two multi-leg processes and numerically computing the first physical NNLO cross-sections in momentum-space.

Sensitivity to new physics in final states with multiple gauge and Higgs bosons

A. Cappati, R. Covarelli, P. Torrielli, M. Zaro

Summary: This paper analyses the sensitivity of hadron-collider processes involving the interaction of two electroweak and two Higgs bosons to beyond-the-Standard-Model effects. The experimental results from the CMS collaboration are examined in the context of a dimension-8 extension of the Standard Model. The study shows that constraints from vector-boson fusion Higgs-pair production on modified VVHH interactions are already comparable with or more stringent than those from vector-boson scattering final states. The paper also discusses the potential of new experimental final states and provides an outlook for the high-luminosity phase of the LHC.

Improving methods and predictions at high-energy e+e- colliders within collinear factorisation

V Bertone, M. Cacciari, S. Frixione, G. Stagnitto, M. Zaro, X. Zhao

Summary: This article discusses the use of electron Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) with next-to-leading collinear logarithmic accuracy in high-energy collision processes. It explores the effects of multiple fermion families and mass thresholds on the evolution of PDFs using the renormalisation group equation, as well as the dependences on factorisation and renormalisation schemes. The impact of uncertainties associated with PDFs on physical cross sections is studied to provide realistic precision estimates for observables computed with collinear-factorisation formulae.

UFO 2.0: the 'Universal Feynman Output' format

Luc Darme, Celine Degrande, Claude Duhr, Benjamin Fuks, Mark Goodsell, Gudrun Heinrich, Valentin Hirschi, Stefan Hoche, Marius Hoefer, Joshua Isaacson, Olivier Mattelaer, Thorsten Ohl, Davide Pagani, Juergen Reuter, Peter Richardson, Steffen Schumann, Hua-Sheng Shao, Frank Siegert, Marco Zaro

Summary: This article presents an update and extension of the Universal FeynRules Output model format (UFO format), which is widely used in automated matrix-element generators and high-energy physics software. The newly proposed Universal Feynman Output format includes flexible and modular additions for particle decays, custom propagators, form factors, the renormalisation group running of parameters and masses, as well as higher-order quantum corrections.

Automated EW corrections with isolated photons: t(t)over-barγ, t(t)over-barγγ and tγj as case studies

Davide Pagani, Hua-Sheng Shao, Ioannis Tsinikos, Marco Zaro

Summary: In this study, the so-called Complete-NLO predictions for top-quark pair hadroproduction in association with at least one isolated photon are computed for the first time. NLO QCD+EW predictions are also calculated for cases with at least two isolated photons and single-top hadroproduction with at least one isolated photon. The results, obtained through an automated approach, extend the capabilities of the MADGRAPH5_AMC@NLO framework and discuss technical details, including a mixed EW renormalisation scheme for such processes.
