The authors' main claim We find that, for a choice of scale which is suitable for this approach, the QCD corrections are very mild and only change the cross section by up to 10% at the LHC, depending on the severity of the b-jet veto.

The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

We present the results of a next-to-leading order calculation of Wt production, including the decays of both the top quark and the W boson. The effects of radiation in the decay of the top quark are also included. The separation of diagrams which appear in the real corrections, into singly- and doubly-resonant contributions, is performed using a b-jet veto which is motivated by the use of the bottom quark distribution function. We find that, for a choice of scale which is suitable for this approach, the QCD corrections are very mild and only change the cross section by up to 10% at the LHC, depending on the severity of the b-jet veto. When further cuts are applied, applicable for a Higgs boson search in the H->WW channel, we find that the radiative effects greatly decrease the number of background events expected from this process. In addition, the shapes of relevant distributions can be significantly changed at next-to-leading order.

Original abstract

We present the results of a next-to-leading order calculation of Wt production, including the decays of both the top quark and the W boson. The effects of radiation in the decay of the top quark are also included. The separation of diagrams which appear in the real corrections, into singly- and doubly-resonant contributions, is performed using a b-jet veto which is motivated by the use of the bottom quark distribution function. We find that, for a choice of scale which is suitable for this approach, the QCD corrections are very mild and only change the cross section by up to 10% at the LHC, depending on the severity of the b-jet veto. When further cuts are applied, applicable for a Higgs boson search in the H->WW channel, we find that the radiative effects greatly decrease the number of background events expected from this process. In addition, the shapes of relevant distributions can be significantly changed at next-to-leading order.

How later papers used it

63 later papers cite it

Evidence: substantial. 61 of the citing papers share no author with it, and 15 of those carry a confident label from Pith's citation classifier.

Pith read 16 of the 97 citing sentences, choosing only those whose citation markers point at this paper alone, and wrote the paraphrases from them. The summary, the counts, the evidence level, the links and the quotes come from code; the summary counts the papers listed below. A later paper is listed under a label when Pith's citation classifier gives one of its sentences that label at probability 0.8 or more (0.95 for support), Pith's reading finds that the citing paper itself did it, and a second check confirms the paraphrase against the sentence. This section lists uses only. It does not list criticism or disagreement, so their absence here says nothing about how the paper has been received. Papers that share an author with this one are listed apart, under "By the same authors". A quote is the citing authors' own sentence, shown when their paper's licence is CC BY, CC BY-SA or CC0. JSON
