This effort amounts to the evaluation of the four-particle process $brightarrow s bar{q} q gamma$ at the one-loop level, supplemented by the corresponding five-particle tree-level cuts $brightarrow s bar{q} q gamma + g$ of the gluon bremsstrahlung. Knowledge of these pieces will formally complete the $bar{B} rightarrow X_s gamma$ decay at the next-to-leading order. The different steps such as the generation of the amplitude, its \u0000renormalization, and the treatment of occuring IR-divergences are discussed. Moreover, we elaborate on the subtleties that arise when treating $gamma_5$ in $D$ dimensions.","PeriodicalId":440413,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 14th International Symposium on Radiative Corrections — PoS(RADCOR2019)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116744934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate theoretical predictions for this process are therefore crucial. We report on a new calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD radiative corrections to the production of top-quark pairs at hadron colliders. The calculation is performed by using the $q_T$-subtraction method to handle and cancel infrared singular contributions at intermediate stages of the computation, and it represents its first complete application to the hadroproduction of a colourful high-mass system at next-to-next-to-leading order. We discuss the calculation of the additional soft contributions needed to implement $q_T$ subtraction for this process, and we show first numerical results.","PeriodicalId":440413,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 14th International Symposium on Radiative Corrections — PoS(RADCOR2019)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130104895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We cross-check the finite remainders through a computation based on conventional form factor decomposition. We show that for physical observables, an ultimate D-dimensional form factor decomposition of amplitudes is not necessary which has a huge potential to simplify a multiloop computation.
