Tops from Light Quarks: Full Mass Dependence at Two-Loops in QCD
read the original abstract
I present the two-loop QCD corrections to the production of a massive quark-anti-quark pair in the massless quark-anti-quark annihilation channel. The result is obtained as a combination of a deep expansion in the mass around the high energy limit and of a numerical integration of a system of differential equations. The primary application of the outcome and developed methods is top quark pair production at the Large Hadron Collider.

Double virtual QCD corrections to $t\bar{t}+$jet production at the LHC
Leading-colour two-loop virtual amplitudes for ttbar+jet are extracted analytically via finite-field evaluations and differential equations, then packaged in a C++ library with new numerical integration techniques.
