Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to WZ and WZ production via vector-boson fusion

چکیده
We present the calculation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to electroweak pp→ eνe μ μjj and pp→ eν̄e μ μjj production at the CERN LHC in the form of a fully flexible parton-level Monte Carlo program. The QCD corrections to the total cross sections are modest, changing the leading-order results by less than 10%. At the Born level, the shape of kinematic distributions can depend significantly on the choice of factorization scale. This theoretical uncertainty is strongly reduced by the inclusion of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections. February 2, 2008 —8:26

WZ production at hadron colliders: Effects of nonstandard WWZ couplings and QCD corrections.
The process p p (−) → W±Z + X → `1 ν1`2 `2 + X is calculated to O(αs) for general C and P conserving WWZ couplings. At the Tevatron center of mass energy, the QCD corrections to WZ production are modest. At Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies, the inclusive QCD corrections are large, but can be reduced significantly if a jet veto is imposed. Sensitivity limits for the anomalous WWZ couplings a...
متن کاملNext-to-leading order QCD corrections to W and Z production via vector-boson fusion
The production of W or Z bosons in association with two jets is an important background to the Higgs boson search in vector-boson fusion at the LHC. The purely electroweak component of this background is dominated by vector-boson fusion, which exhibits kinematical distributions very similar to the Higgs boson signal. We consider the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to W and Z boson product...
متن کاملNext-to-leading order QCD corrections to slepton pair production via vector-boson fusion
Slepton pairs can be produced in vector-boson fusion processes at hadron colliders. The next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the electroweak production cross section for pp → l̃+l̃− + 2 jets at order αsα 4 have been calculated and implemented in a NLO parton-level Monte Carlo program. Numerical results are presented for the CERN Large Hadron Collider PACS Nos: 11.10.Gh, 12.60.Jv, 14.80.Ly
متن کاملNext-to-leading order QCD corrections to W+W− production via vector-boson fusion
Vector-boson fusion processes constitute an important class of reactions at hadron colliders, both for signals and backgrounds of new physics in the electroweak interactions. We consider what is commonly referred to as W+W− production via vectorboson fusion (with subsequent leptonic decay of the W s), or, more precisely, eνe μ ν̄μ + 2 jets production in proton-proton scattering, with all resonan...
متن کاملNext-to-leading order QCD corrections to light Higgs Pair production via vector boson fusion
We present the NLO QCD corrections for light Higgs pair production via vector boson fusion at the LHC within the CP conserving type II two higgs doublet model in the form of a fully flexible parton–level Monte Carlo program. Scale dependences on integrated cross sections and distributions are reduced with QCD K–factors of order unity.
