Description
In this talk, I will give an introduction to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) computations for top-quark pair production using subtraction methods. I will explain the subtraction scheme STRIPPER and its implementation in a fully differential Monte Carlo event generator. High-precision differential QCD predictions are discussed and compared to recent measurements of top-pair events at the LHC.
