NNLO Soft-gluon Corrections for the Z-boson and W-boson Transverse Momentum Distributions
We present results for the Z-boson and W -boson transverse momentum (pT ) distributions for large pT at LHC and Tevatron energies. We calculate complete next-to-leadingorder (NLO) QCD corrections as well as soft-gluon corrections at next-to-next-to-leadingorder (NNLO) to the differential cross section. The NNLO soft-gluon contributions are derived from next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm (NNLL) r...
متن کاملVector Boson Transverse Momentum Distributions at the Tevatron
We show vector boson transverse momentum distributions at the Tevatron, obtained by running the HERWIGMonte Carlo event generator with matrixelement corrections. We compare our results with some recent DØ and CDF data. Vector boson production at hadron colliders is a fundamental process to test Quantum Chromodynamics and the Standard Model of the electroweak interactions. The lowest order proce...
متن کاملTransverse Momentum Distributions from Lattice QCD
Nucleons, i.e., protons and neutrons, are composed of quarks and gluons, whose interactions are described by the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), part of the standard model of particle physics. This work applies lattice QCD to compute quark momentum distributions in the nucleon. The calculations make use of lattice data generated on supercomputers that has already been successfully emplo...
متن کاملAngular Distributions in the Lepton Pair Production
The angular distributions of high mass lepton pairs are reviewed. It is argued that the detailed study of polar distributions provide the evidence for the substantial contributions to the Drell-Yan process from the higher order QCD effects. It is also pointed out that the first order QCD "Comptonfl diagrams predict non-trivial azimuthal dependence which could be measured experimentally. (Contri...
متن کاملSingle Lepton Production at Large Transverse Momentum
We study the production of single isolated leptons at large transverse momentum, plT > MW /2. The dominant source of such leptons is production of an on-shell W boson recoiling against a hard jet. Vetoing this jet forces the W boson to be produced off resonance and significantly reduces the standard model cross section, thereby enhancing the discovery prospects for non standard model physics. A...
