Abstract
We present predictions for the production and decay of a top–antitop pair in association with a Z boson in the multi-lepton decay channel at the LHC. Our results include the complete set of LO and NLO contributions. Since our calculation is based on full matrix elements, off-shell effects are entirely taken into account. Integrated and differential cross-sections are reported for a realistic fiducial setup.

Reports on this Submission
Strengths
1- Clear and concise.
2- The topic and results are of high relevance for phenomenological studies at the LHC.
Weaknesses
None.
Report
The author reports on the work presented at TOP2024 about complete NLO corrections to off-shell top-quark pair productin in association with a Z boson. The article is well written and easy to read. Therefore, I recommend its publication.
Requested changes
None.
Recommendation
Publish (meets expectations and criteria for this Journal)
