TOP-PAIR PRODUCTION - Theory ● Non-resonantcorrections:accountfor the productionof the pairs byhighly virtual tops ordiagramswithonly one or no top ● Resonantcontributionsto top and antitopclosetothemass-shell ● power counting forEWeffects: Theorysignal:resonant+non-resonantcorrections Note thattheorycontributionsdo notalwaysinvolvetheproduction of a top-antitoppair. Suchcontributionsshouldnot be clasified as background (even non-resonantproduction of without tops!, starts at NNNLO) Note:once EW effects are turned on, the physical final state is
