Publications and Research

We present an interface between the multipurpose Monte Carlo toolMadGraph5_aMC@NLOand the automated amplitude generator GoSam. As a first application of this novel framework, we compute the NLO corrections topp→t ̄tHandpp→t ̄tγγmatched to a parton shower. In the phenomenological analyses of these processes, we focus our attention on observables which are sensitive to the polarisation of the top quarks.
