Renormalisation and matching of massless scalar correlation functions in Soft de Sitter Effective Theory / Beneke, Martin (Munich, Tech. U.) ; Hager, Patrick (CERN) ; Sanfilippo, Andrea F. (Granada U.)
For light and massless scalar fields, cosmological correlation functions suffer from infrared divergences and secular logarithms. [...]

On Thrust Resummation Ambiguities in $e^+e^-$ Annihilation into Hadrons / Buonocore, Luca (CERN) ; Nason, Paolo (INFN, Milan Bicocca) ; Rottoli, Luca (Milan Bicocca U. (main) ; INFN, Milan Bicocca) ; Torrielli, Paolo (INFN, Turin ; U. Turin (main))
In $e^+e^-$ shape-variable studies, and in particular for the case of thrust, fixed-order QCD predictions are typically supplemented with the resummation of contributions enhanced near the two-jet limit. [...]

Next-to-next-to-leading order event generation for $t\bar{t}H$ production with approximate two-loop amplitude / Biello, Christian (Zurich, ETH) ; Savoini, Chiara (Munich, Tech. U.) ; Signorile-Signorile, Chiara (CERN) ; Wiesemann, Marius (Garching, Max Planck Inst.)
We study Higgs-boson production in association with a top-quark pair ($t\bar{t}H$) at hadron colliders and present the first matching of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to parton showers using the MiNNLOPS method. [...]
