Next-to-leading order predictions for WW+jet production
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we report on a next-to-leading order calculation of WW + jet production at hadron colliders, with subsequent leptonic decays of the W -bosons included. The calculation of the one-loop contributions is performed using generalized unitarity methods in order to derive analytic expressions for the relevant amplitudes. These amplitudes have been implemented in the parton-level Monte Carlo generator MCFM, which we use to provide a complete next-to-leading order calculation. Predictions for total cross-sections, as well as differential distributions for several key observables, are computed both for the LHC operating at 14 TeV as well as for a possible future 100 TeV proton-proton collider.

NNLO predictions for the Higgs boson signal in the H → WW → lνlν and H → ZZ → 4l decay channels
We consider Standard Model Higgs boson production by gluon–gluon fusion in hadron collisions. We present a calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the cross section in the H → WW → lνlν and H → ZZ → 4l decay channels. The calculation is implemented in the parton level Monte Carlo program HNNLO and allows us to apply arbitrary cuts on the final state leptons and the a...
متن کاملHiggs Boson Production in Association with a Jet at Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order.
We present precise predictions for Higgs boson production in association with a jet. We work in the Higgs effective field theory framework and compute next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the gluon-gluon and quark-gluon channels, which is sufficient for reliable LHC phenomenology. We present fully differential results as well as total cross sections for the LHC. Our next-to-next-to-...
متن کاملElectron - Positron Annihilation into Four Jets at Next - to - Leading Order in α s 1 Adrian Signer and Lance Dixon
We calculate the rate for e+e− annihilation into four jets at next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD, but omitting terms that are suppressed by one or more powers of 1/N2 c , where Nc is the number of colors. The O(αs) corrections depend strongly on the jet resolution parameter ycut and on the clustering and recombination schemes, and they substantially improve the agreement between theory a...

متن کاملSoft-gluon effects in WW production at hadron colliders
We consider QCD radiative corrections to WW pair production in hadron collisions. We perform a calculation that consistently combines next-to-leading order predictions with soft-gluon resummation valid at small transverse momenta p T of the WW pair. We present results for the p T distribution at the LHC up to (almost) next-to-nextto-leading logarithmic accuracy, and study the effect of resummat...
