abstract
The dipole subtraction method for calculating next-to-leading order corrections in QCD was originally only formulated for massless partons. In this paper we extend its definition to include massive partons, namely quarks, squarks and gluinos. We pay particular attention to the quasi-collinear region, which gives rise to terms that are enhanced by logarithms of the parton masses, M. By ensuring that our subtraction cross section matches the exact real cross section in all quasi-collinear regions we achieve uniform convergence both for hard scales Q ~= M and Q >> M. Moreover, taking the masses to zero, we exactly reproduce the previously-calculated massless results. We give all the analytical formulae necessary to construct a numerical program to evaluate the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to arbitrary observables in an arbitrary process.

NNLO QCD predictions for ttW production with two-loop amplitudes evaluated explicitly in the generalised leading-colour limit.
NNLO QCD predictions for ttW production at hadron colliders using direct two-loop amplitude computation in the generalised leading-colour limit.
First complete NLO QCD+EW predictions for off-shell ttbar production in the lepton+jets channel, including all subleading Born and NLO terms and an IR-safe photon-jet treatment, at 13.6 TeV.
First automated MC@NLO matching of NLO QCD+EW to an interleaved QCD+QED parton shower with resonance-aware dipole subtraction, validated for Drell-Yan lepton-pair production.
A resonance- and width-aware parton shower with NLO matching is developed for e+e- to W+W- bbbar, extending beyond standard Breit-Wigner approximations, with a public SHERPA-based simulator.
Authors introduce a partial two-jet event fraction for massive-quark EEC and an improved factorization scheme with χ-dependent coefficient function.
A framework based on the YFS theorem enables process-independent local IR subtraction and resummation matching for automated NNLO_EW calculations in lepton collider processes.
Implementation of NNLO EW NLL corrections in OpenLoops for massless fermions and transversely polarized vector bosons, validated against analytic results and applied to representative LHC processes.
NLO QCD and EW corrections computed for semileptonic vector-boson scattering in two fiducial regions at the LHC.
A primer by six leading developers maps the full Monte Carlo chain (matrix elements, parton showers, hadronisation, detector simulation, tuning, analysis) and the computing and reproducibility issues that come with it.
