A bstractWe present the computation of the double real and real-virtual contributions to top-antitop pair production in the quark-antiquark channel at leading colour. The qq¯$$ q\overline{q} $$ → tt¯g$$ t\overline{t} g $$ amplitudes contributing to the real-virtual part are computed with OpenLoops, and their numerical stability in the soft and collinear regions is found to be sufficiently high to perform a realistic NNLO calculation in double precision. The subtraction terms required at real…
