چکیده

A precise determination of the W boson mass at the Fermilab Tevatron requires a theoretical calculation in which the effects of the initial-state multiple soft-gluon emission and the final-state photonic correction are simultaneously included. Here, we present such a calculation and discuss its prediction on the transverse mass distribution of the W boson and the transverse momentum distribution of its decay charged lepton, which are the most relevant observables for measuring the W boson mass at hadron colliders.

Combined Effect of QCD Resummation and QED Radiative Correction to W boson Mass Measurement at the LHC

A precise determination of the W boson mass at the CERN LHC requires a theoretical calculation in which the effect of the initial-state multiple soft-gluon emission and the final-state photonic correction are simultaneously included . Here, we present such a calculation and discuss its prediction on a few most relevant distributions of the decay leptons.

Theory of W and Z boson production

Success of precision studies in W and Z boson production at the Tevatron and LHC depends on the progress in reducing theoretical uncertainties to the level of 1−2%. I review recent developments in theoretical understanding of W and Z boson production and remaining issues to be solved to meet demands of the near-future experiments. Production of W and Z bosons at pp̄ and pp colliders is well-suit...

Weak Boson Emission in Hadron Collider Processes

The O(α) virtual weak radiative corrections to many hadron collider processes are known to become large and negative at high energies, due to the appearance of Sudakov-like logarithms. At the same order in perturbation theory, weak boson emission diagrams contribute. Since the W and Z bosons are massive, the O(α) virtual weak radiative corrections and the contributions from weak boson emission ...
