CoLoRFulNNLO for color-singlet processes: An update on NNLOCAL

We give an update on the status of NNLOCAL, a parton-level Monte Carlo program implementing the extension of the completely local subtraction scheme CoLoRFulNNLO to color-singlet production in hadron-hadron collisions. The construction of the counterterms in our scheme is generic, being based on the standard IR factorization formulae of QCD. Furthermore, the integration of the counterterms over the phase space of unresolved emissions is performed fully analytically, allowing for good control of the numerical stability of our predictions. We validate our method by computing NNLO corrections to fully differential cross sections for the LHC.

CoLoRFul for hadron collisions: Integrating the counterterms

In order to numerically compute scattering cross sections in QCD, one needs to deal with various kinematic divergences that appear at intermediate stages of the calculation. One way of doing this is by setting up an IR subtraction scheme. In this talk we give an update on the status of extending the CoLoRFul subtraction scheme, which has been successfully used in the past for processes with only final-state hadrons, to hadron-hadron collisions. In particular we discuss the analytic computation of the integrated counterterms.

NNLOCAL: completely local subtractions for color-singlet production in hadron collisions

We present NNLOCAL, a proof-of-concept parton-level Monte Carlo program implementing the extension of the completely local subtraction scheme CoLoRFulNNLO to the case of color-singlet production in hadron collisions. We have built general local subtraction terms that regularize all single and double unresolved infrared singularities in real radiation phase space. The subtractions are then integrated fully analytically to the required order in the parameter of dimensional regularization. Combining the integrated counterterms with the virtual contributions we demonstrate the cancellation of all infrared poles explicitly. We validate our procedure by computing the fully differential cross section for the production of a Higgs boson at the LHC in an effective field theory with gluons only. Our code provides the first public implementation of a completely local analytic subtraction scheme at next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy.
