We have performed NLO and NNLO calculations for the production of color
singlet bosons using different methods and published the results in ref. [21]. NLO
calculations can performed by three methods, (subtraction, zero-jettiness slicing and
-slicing.
NNLO calculations can be performed by zero-jettiness slicing and
-slicing.
8.1 Benchmark results at NNLO
We have included a suite of input files that have been set up to showcase all color-singlet
processes that may be computed up to NNLO, located in:
or accessible via the process web-pages, (linked in the table below) These files reproduce the
results presented in Ref. [21]. A list of the processes, input files and results (NNLO coefficient
and running time) is shown in Table 8.1.
