  5. I. The structure of OpenLoops 2 • OpenLoops program (public): User interfaces and process-independent OpenLoops routines. Available as tar from https://openloops.hepforge.org or from git repository: git clone https://gitlab.com/openloops/OpenLoops.git • Process generator (not public): Perform analytical steps (e.g. colour factors) and generate process-dependent code for numerical calculation → stored in process libraries • Process libraries (public) automatically downloaded by the user. A process a library contains all partonic channels for a process class. Example: ppjj contains d ¯ d → d ¯ u → d ¯ d , d ¯ d → gg , gg → gg , etc d , u ¯ and real corrections d ¯ d → d ¯ u → d ¯ dg , u ¯ dg , etc Also: particle permutations + channel maps, e.g. b ¯ b → gg mapped to d ¯ d → gg for M B = 0 . More than 200 process libraries available for all relevant SM processes (+ HEFT) → see https://openloops.hepforge.org Additional libraries provided upon user request • Third party tools for integral evaluation (included): Collier 1.2.2 [Denner, Dittmaier, Hofer ’16] , OneLoop 3.6.1 [van Hameren ’10] 4

  6. II. Full NLO QCD and EW corrections in the SM EW corrections enhanced by soft/collinear logarithms from virtual EW bosons: α w ln 2 ( Q 2 /M 2 • Order W ) ∼ 25% > α S in observables at the TeV scale πs 2 ⇒ EW corrections crucial for SM tests and BSM searches at the LHC But also more challenging than NLO QCD! γ, Z , W q i ℓ − ℓ + • Virtual corrections involve more particles and masses ( γ, Z, W, H, b, t ) γ, Z , W q i g g • V → lepton decays: Effective particle multiplicity increased due to final-state interactions and non-factorisation, e.g. pp → ZZ is 2 → 2 in QCD and 2 → 4 with EW ( × 400 more diagrams) ℓ − ℓ − ℓ − Z/γ ∗ Z/γ ∗ Z/γ ∗ p p p ℓ + ℓ + ℓ + p p p 5

  7. Power counting: Nontrivial QCD-EW interplay q at Born level: M 0 ∼ O ( e 2 ) + O ( g 2 q → q ¯ Simple example: q ¯ S ) q ∼ W 00 ∼ O ( α 2 O ( α 1 S α 1 ) + O ( α 2 ) ⇒ σ q ¯ S ) + q → q ¯ � �� � � �� � � �� � QCD EW − QCD interf . EW NLO EW corrections of O ( α 2 S α 1 ) for q ¯ q → q ¯ q : • EW corrections to QCD Born → only full O ( α 2 S α 1 ) IR finite γ γ γ, Z → O ( α ) corrections can involve • QCD corrections to EW–QCD interference emissions of γ and g, q, ¯ q γ, Z γ, Z γ, Z n q ¯ ˜ � q e m +2 k M ( k ) S e m M (0) k =0 g n − 2 k � g n In general (e.g. pp → X + jets): M 0 = = M 0 where � � � 0 0 S � � LO QCD n q ¯ ˜ q = n q ¯ q − 1 , if n q ¯ q ≥ 1 (number of external q ¯ q pairs), else ˜ n q ¯ q = 0 6

  10. Complex masses, Scale variations and Renormalisation • Consistent treatment of resonances with complex mass scheme at 1-loop [Denner, Dittmaier] → complex mass µ 2 p = M 2 p − i M p Γ p from real physical mass M p and width Γ p as input ⇒ implemented in a flexible way , i.e. mix between on-shell and off-shell massive particles tl + l − with off-shell Z at NLO EW allowed ⇒ Consistent calculation of e.g. pp → t ¯ tZ → t ¯ • Different Renormalisation schemes implemented, e.g. on-shell or MS for quark masses; different flavour schemes for α S • Efficient QCD scale variations: If scattering amplitudes are re-evaluated multiple times with different values of µ r and α S (all other input and kinematic parameters fixed) → For each new phase-space point, matrix elements are computed and stored in a cache. → For ( µ r , α S ) variations, only µ r -dependent QCD counterterms are explicitly re-computed and the bare amplitude from the cache is re-scaled according to its α S -dependence. ⇒ Highly efficient algorithm for scale variations fully automated 9
