Description
We present NLOPS matched predictions for $pp \to \ell \nu_\ell j j b \bar b$ at $\alpha^4 \alpha_s^2$ within the POWHEG BOX RES framework. This process is dominated by top-pair production and decay in the semileptonic channel. The hadronic decay of the W-boson is considered in an approximation that allows for consistent inclusion of the contributions from $t\bar t$ and $Wt$ single-top production and all relevant quantum interferences between different channels.
