Revisiting Wγ production at RHIC
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss Wγ production in polarized p p collisions at RHIC energy. We point out that the RHIC collider has two advantages over other hadron colliders to measure the characteristic feature of Wγ production: (1) the RHIC energy is not so high and (2) the polarized beams are available. We calculate the tree level cross section for Wγ production using a generic spin basis for W and discuss both the angular dependence and spin correlation. DESY 01-098 HUPD-0107 TU-627

Diboson production at the LHC with the CMS detector
The measurement of diboson production cross sections for a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. Luminosities used are 1.1 fb −1 from 2011 data for ZZ, WZ and WW processes and 36 pb −1 from 2010 data for Wγ and Zγ final states. Cross sections are measured to σ (pp → ZZ + X) = 3.8 The production cross sections of processes including photons in the final state, Wγ and Zγ processes are give...
متن کاملGluon induced contributions to WZ and Wγ production at NNLO
We calculate the contribution of the partonic processes gg → WZqq̄ and gg → Wγqq̄ to WZ and Wγ pair production at hadron colliders, including anomalous triple gauge-boson couplings. We use the helicity method and include the decay of the W and Z-boson into leptons in the narrow-width approximation. In order to integrate over the qq̄ final state phase space we use an extended version of the subtrac...
متن کاملA study of a NLO matrix element generator for Wγ and matching scheme for NLO events and Pythia
We present here a study of event generators for the hadronic production of Wγ . We compare a NLO Wγ matrix element generator with the leading order calculation in Pythia . A matching scheme between a next-to-leading order Wγ matrix element generator by Baur et. al. and the Pythia parton shower is presented. The NLO package produces Wγ +0 jet and Wγ +1jet final states in the hard scattering and ...
متن کاملTevatron Results on Gauge Boson Couplings
Direct measurements of the trilinear gauge boson couplings by the CDF and DØ collaborations at Fermilab are reviewed. Limits on the anomalous couplings were obtained at a 95% CL from four diboson production processes: Wγ production with the subsequent W boson decay to eν or μν, WW production with both the W boson decaying to eν or μν, WW/WZ production with one of the gauge bosons decaying lepto...
متن کاملElectroweak-correction effects in gauge-boson pair production at the LHC
We have studied the effect of one-loop logarithmic electroweak radiative corrections on WZ and Wγ production processes at the LHC. We present analytical results for the leading-logarithmic electroweak corrections to the corresponding partonic processes d̄u → WZ,Wγ. Using the leading-pole approximation we implement these corrections into Monte Carlo programs for pp → lνll l̄′, lνlγ. We find that e...
