We study the matching of multijet matrix elements and shower evolution in the case of top production in hadronic collisions at the Tevatron and at the LHC. We present the results of the matching algorithm implemented in the ALPGEN Monte Carlo generator, and compare them with results obtained at the parton level, and with the predictions of the MC@NLO approach. We highlight the consistency of the matching algorithm when applied to these final states, and the excellent agreement obtained with MC@NLO for most inclusive quantities. We nevertheless identify also a remarkable difference in the rapidity spectrum of the leading jet accompanying the top quark pair, and comment on the likely origin of this discrepancy.

  1. Probing compressed triplet scalars with ISR jets and soft leptons at the LHC

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A cut-and-count analysis exploiting ISR jets and soft leptons can reach discovery sensitivity for compressed triplet scalars with 1-30 GeV splittings at 3000 fb^{-1}.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    LHC mono-W/Z searches with a new channel-separation method can exclude large ranges of neutral and charged mass splittings in the 70-75 GeV IDM dark matter scenario that fits astrophysical excesses.
