Lepton-pair production in association with a bb¯ $$ b\overline{b} $$ pair and the determination of the W boson mass

Abstract We perform a study of lepton-pair production in association with bottom quarks at the LHC based on the predictions obtained at next-to-leading order in QCD, both at fixed order and matched with a QCD parton shower. We consider a comprehensive set of observables and estimate the associated t...
