Kirill Melnikov - NNLO QCD computations for the LHC
RTG Seminar talk on June 8th, 2016
In the past two years, a remarkable progress occurred with next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD computations for hadron collider observables.
Large number of important processes with up to two particles in the final state, such as top pair , electroweak boson pair , Higgs and jet, vector boson and jet, as well as di-jet production were calculated to NNLO in perturbative QCD. I will discuss technical developments that made this progress possible and describe
phenomenological implications of these computations. I will also discuss important challenges for extending NNLO QCD computations to higher multiplicity LHC processes.
