摘要
1 present the two-loop QCD corrections to the production of a massive quark-anti-quark pair in the massless quark-anti-quark annihilation channel. The result is obtained as a combination of a deep expansion in the mass around the high energy limit and of a numerical integration of a system of differential equations. The primary application of the outcome and developed methods is top quark pair production at the Large Hadron Collider. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
