Abstract We present predictions for heavy-quark production at the Large Hadron Collider making use of the $$ \overline{\mathrm{MS}} $$ MS ¯ and MSR renormalization schemes for the heavy-quark mass as alternatives to the widely used on-shell renormalization scheme. We compute single and double differential distributions including QCD corrections at next-to-leading order and investigate the renormalization and factorization scale dependence as well as the perturbative convergence in these mass renormalization schemes. The implementation is based on publicly available programs, MCFM and xFitter, extending their capabilities. Our results are applied to extract the top-quark mass using measurements of the total and differential $$ t\overline{t} $$ t t ¯ production cross-sections and to investigate constraints on parton distribution functions, especially on the gluon distribution at low x values, from available LHC data on heavy-flavor hadro-production.

In the course of follow-up work a mistake was discovered in the parameterization of the dependence of the W-boson helicity fractions in top quark decays. The dependence on two operator coefficients, Cφtb and CbW, was erroneously omitted. Inclusion of this dependence leads to significantly stronger bounds on these operators from the current data and modifies also the HL-LHC prospects. The expectations for e+e− colliders are not affected. We present corrected results in this erratum.

The calculation of QCD corrections to heavy quark decay rates has progressed steadily in recent years. With the help of specialized techniques, symbolic computation, and a growing base of experience, a wide variety of special cases have been evaluated. These results have been applied to decays such as t → bW, b → s γ, b → u[Formula: see text]ν, and b → c[Formula: see text]ν. PACS Nos.: 12.38.Bx, 13.30.Ce
