On improving NLO merging for t t ¯ W $$ \mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}\mathrm{W} $$ production

Abstract We introduce an improvement to the FxFx matrix element merging procedure for pp → t t ¯ W $$ t\overline{t}W $$ production at NLO in QCD with one and/or two additional jets. The main modification is an improved treatment of jets that are not logarithmically enhanced in the low transverse-mom...
