NLO electroweak corrections to vector-boson scattering at the LHC

چکیده
Recently, a measurement of the vector-boson scattering process with same-sign W bosons has been reported by the CMS collaboration. Hence it is of prime importance to have precise predictions with next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy. In these proceedings, we report on a recent NLO electroweak computation to the full process pp→ μνμ eνejj. As realistic experimental event selections are applied to the final state, it can directly be compared with experimental measurements. This is particularly important as the corrections turn out to be surprisingly large and even exceed the NLO QCD corrections. The NLO electroweak predictions are presented at the cross-section and differential distribution level.

Strong and electroweak NLO corrections to Higgs-boson production in vector-boson fusion at the LHC
We present results on the strong and electroweak NLO corrections to the production of a Higgs boson plus two hard jets via weak interactions at the LHC. The calculation includes all weak-boson fusion and quark– antiquark annihilation diagrams as well as all related interferences. We discuss corrections of different origin (QCD corrections of vector-boson-fusion type and interferences, electrowe...

We present a calculation of the NLO QCD corrections for the production of three vector bosons at the LHC, namely ZZZ, WWZ, WZZ, and WWW production. The virtual corrections are computed using the recently proposed method of reduction at the integrand level (OPP reduction). Concerning the contributions coming from real emission we used the dipole subtraction to treat the soft and collinear diverg...

Vector-boson fusion (VBF) processes have emerged as a particularly interesting class of scattering events from which one hopes to gain insight into the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking. The most prominent example is Higgs boson production via VBF, which is shown in Fig. 1. This process has been studied intensively as a tool for Higgs boson discovery [1–3] and the measurement of Higgs b...

The implementation of the full next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to electroweak Higgs boson plus three jet production at hadron colliders such as the LHC within the Matchbox NLO framework of the Herwig++ event generator is discussed. We present numerical results for integrated cross sections and kinematic distributions.
متن کاملNext-to-leading order QCD corrections to Z boson pair production via vector-boson fusion
Vector-boson fusion processes are an important tool for the study of electroweak symmetry breaking at hadron colliders, since they allow to distinguish a light Higgs boson scenario from strong weak boson scattering. We here consider the channels WW →ZZ and ZZ→ZZ as part of electroweak Z boson pair production in association with two tagging jets. We present the calculation of the NLO QCD correct...
