NNLO using non-local subtraction

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 qT-slicing. NNLO calculations can be performed by zero-jettiness slicing and qT-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:

     Bin/2202.07738_nonlocal/lo
     Bin/2202.07738_nonlocal/nlo
     Bin/2202.07738_nonlocal/nnlo

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.
