Fully differential NNLO(+NNLL) computations with MATRIX

by Marius Wiesemann (CERN)

Description

The computational framework MATRIX is introduced, which has recently been published.
The code allows for the evaluation of fully differential NNLO predictions for a wide
class of processes in hadronic collisions, including the production of a single or
a pair of color-neutral bosons. By accounting for all resonant and non-resonant diagrams,
off-shell effects and spin correlations, all possible leptonic channels have become
available for the first time. I review relevant phenomenological results for diboson
production obtained with MATRIX and present novel NNLO results for two lepton plus
missing ET signatures. Furthermore, the development of transverse-momentum resummation
at NNLL for all processes available within the MATRIX framework is discussed.
