We present a technique for infrared subtraction in next-to-leading order QCD calculations that preserves the virtuality of resonant propagators. The approach is based on the pseudo-dipole subtraction method proposed by Catani and Seymour in the context of identified particle production. As the first applications, we compute the ee > WWbb and pp > WWjbjb cross-section, which are both dominated by top-quark pair production above the threshold. We compare the efficiency of our approach with a calculation performed using the standard dipole subtraction technique.

Resonance- and Width-aware Parton Shower Evolution and NLO Matching
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.
