Top quark pair production beyond NNLO

We construct an approximate expression for the total cross section for the production of a heavy quark-antiquark pair in hadronic collisions at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N[superscript 3]LO) in αs. We use a technique which exploits the analyticity of the Mellin space cross section, and t...
