We discuss the top-antitop production cross section near threshold at a future linear collider accounting for the NNLL QCD corrections to the anomalous dimension of the leading S-wave production current computed recently within renormalization-group-improved NRQCD perturbation theory. We argue that the still unknown soft NNLL mixing corrections are negligible so that the NNLL QCD corrections to the total cross section can be considered complete for practical purposes. Based on combined variations of the renormalization and matching scales and the overall size of the perturbative corrections we estimate that the NNLL QCD total cross section has a normalization uncertainty of 5% at threshold. We present results for the total cross section and also for the experimentally more relevant case, when moderate cuts are imposed on the reconstructed top and antitop invariant masses.

  1. The two-loop fully differential soft function for $Q\bar{Q}V$ production at lepton colliders

    hep-ph 2024-11 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    The two-loop soft function fully differential in the total momentum of real radiation in QQV production is computed analytically in terms of Goncharov polylogarithms.

  2. Resonance-aware parton-shower matching for off-shell top-antitop production with semi-leptonic decays at electron-positron colliders

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A resonance-aware MC@NLO matching procedure preserves top-antitop line shapes when NLO QCD predictions for off-shell ttbar production at e+e− colliders are showered with Pythia8.

  3. Top-Antitop Production and Decay at Threshold at the LHC in QCD Perturbation Theory

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    NLO+PS generators with resummed Coulomb threshold corrections show that N3LO already captures most of the ATLAS-bin enhancement, finite-width effects are small, and the loosely defined toponium piece is only a few picobarns.

  4. An Optimal Transportation Approach for Improved Confidence Intervals

    stat.ME 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Optimal-transport couplings are used to construct confidence intervals that reduce coverage error relative to classical quantile-based intervals, with consistency theory and data-driven hyperparameters.

  5. Toponium: the smallest bound state and simplest hadron in quantum mechanics

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using the b-quark production ratio at sqrt(s) near 341 GeV, a simulated CEPC experiment could discover toponium at over 5 sigma and measure the top 1S mass to about 33 MeV.

  6. Monte Carlo Event Generators for Future Lepton Colliders

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Reviews selected challenges in Monte Carlo event generators for future lepton colliders including electroweak corrections, initial-state radiation, beam dynamics, perturbative QCD and non-perturbative modelling.
