Radiation zeros in weak boson production processes at hadron colliders
نویسنده
چکیده
The Standard Model amplitudes for processes where one or more gauge bosons are emitted exhibit zeros in the angular distributions. The theoretical and experimental aspects of these radiation amplitude zeros are reviewed and some recent results are discussed. In particular, the zeros of the WZγ and WZZ production amplitudes are analyzed. It is briefly explained how radiation zeros can be used to test the SM.

Weak Gauge Boson Radiation in Parton Showers
The emission of W and Z gauge boson is included in a traditional QCD + QED shower. The unitarity of the shower algorithm links the real radiation of the weak gauge bosons to the negative weak virtual corrections. The shower evolution process leads to a competition between QCD, QED and weak radiation, and allows for W and Z boson production inside jets. Various effects on LHC physics are studied...

We summarize the status of calculations of the electroweak radiative corrections to W and Z boson production via the Drell-Yan mechanism at hadron colliders. To fully exploit the precision physics potential of the highluminosity environment of the Fermilab Tevatron pp̄ (Run II) and the CERN LHC pp colliders, it is crucial that the theoretical predictions are well under control. The envisioned pr...

We discuss vector boson production at hadron colliders and the treatment of the initial-state radiation according to Monte Carlo parton shower simulations and resummed calculations. In particular, we investigate the effect of matrix-element corrections to the HERWIG event generator on W/Z transverse momentum distributions.

We present the calculation of Next-to-Leading-Order Quantum Chromo Dynamics corrections for the production of a W or Z weak boson associated with a bottom anti-bottom quark pair at hadron colliders (pp̄, pp → W/Z bb̄), including the effects of a non-zero bottomquark mass. We find a considerable reduction of the renormalization and factorization scale dependence of our results with respect to Lead...
