摘要:We report on the calculation of the NLO QCD corrections to hadronicW+W−b¯b production. This provides a full NLO description of top-pair production and decay, including interferences, offshell effects, non-resonant diagrams, as well as leptonic W-boson decays. We discuss results for the Tevatron and the LHC, with emphasis on finite-width effects of the top quarks and distortions of kinematic distributions.
