Top-pair events with B-hadrons at the LHC

Abstract

The first implementation of fragmentation in a numerical code for the computation of cross sections at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD has recently been completed. I will present some results of the first application of this new framework to the production of top-quark pairs at the LHC in association with a bottom-flavoured hadron. Additionally, I will present an extended version of this calculation, which includes the decay of the $B$-hadron to a $J/\psi$ meson or a muon.
