Abstract: (arXiv)
We present the theoretical predictions including the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the top-quark pair production in association with a photon at the LHC with center-of-mass system energy of . The uncertainties of the leading order (LO) and NLO QCD corrected cross sections due to the renormalization/factorization scale, and the distributions of the transverse momenta of final top-quark and photon are studied. Moreover, we provide the numerical results of the LO, NLO QCD corrected cross sections and the corresponding -factors with different photon transverse momentum cuts. We also discuss the impact of QCD corrections to the \ppttga in case of there existing the exotic top-quark with an electric charge of at the LHC.Note:
