Abstract
We present a full off-shell NLO QCD calculation of
pp \rightarrow e^+ \nu_e b \mu^- \bar{\nu}_\mu \bar{b} b \bar{b} + Xpp→e+νebμ−ν‾μb‾bb‾+X.
Results are obtained using the Helac-Nlo Monte Carlo framework. We
discuss a comparison to previous results and to experimental
measurements. We also investigate the contribution of the initial states
involving bb-quarks
and we introduce two bb-jet
tagging schemes.
