- Abstract
The standard approaches for describing top quark production and its
decay dynamics are currently mostly either based on the narrow-width
(NW) limit or on off-shell fixed-order calculations. In this article we
present a factorised approach for boosted top quarks that combines the
properties of the NW limit and off-shell computations accounting for the
dominant off-shell effects in an expansion in mt/Q with the hard scatter-
ing scale Q. We discuss the key ideas of our approach and show some
preliminary results at tree-level.- Organisation(s)
