摘要
We present the implementation of several processes at Next-to-Next-to Leading Order (NNLO) accuracy in QCD in the parton-level Monte Carlo program MCFM. The processes treated are pp → H , W ± , Z , W ± H , ZH , W ± γ , Zγ and γγ and, for the first time in the code, W + W − , W ± Z and ZZ . Decays of the unstable bosons are fully included, resulting in a flexible fully differential Monte Carlo code. The NNLO corrections have been calculated using two non-local slicing approaches, isolating the doubly unresolved region by cutting on the zero-jettiness, 𝒯 0 , or on q T , the transverse momentum of the colour singlet final-state particles. We find that for most, but not all processes the q T slicing method leads to smaller power corrections for equal computational burden.
