Description

Four-top production is one of the rarest Standard Model processes observable at the Large Hadron Collider, offering sensitivity to the top-Yukawa coupling, Higgs width, and beyond-Standard-Model physics. We present precise predictions for the invariant-mass distribution and total cross section using threshold resummation at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy, matched to NLO in QCD+EW, including an assessment of theoretical uncertainties.
