abstract
We perform threshold resummation of soft gluon corrections to the total cross sections and the invariant mass distributions for production of a top-antitop quark pair associated with a heavy electroweak boson $V = W^+$, $W^-$ or $Z$ in $pp$ collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. The resummation is carried out at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy using the direct QCD Mellin space technique in the three-particle invariant mass kinematics. It is found that for the $t\bar t Z$ process the soft gluon resummation introduces significant corrections to the next-to-leading order (NLO) results. For the central scale equal to the $t\bar t Z$ invariant mass the corrections reach nearly 30%. For this process, the dominant theoretical uncertainty of the cross section due to the scale choice is significantly reduced at the NLO+NNLL level with respect to the NLO results. The effects of resummation are found to be less pronounced in the $t\bar t W^{\pm}$ case. The obtained results are compared to recent measurements performed by CMS and ATLAS collaborations at the LHC.

NNLO QCD predictions for ttW production at hadron colliders using direct two-loop amplitude computation in the generalised leading-colour limit.
Perturbative fragmentation functions approximate ttH production at NLO and yield reliable results in the hybrid prescription at LHC energies.
Collider analysis shows the 2τ + 2b + MET channel can probe vector-like top partners up to 1.9 TeV in 2HDM scenarios at HL-LHC.
