Electroweak corrections to vector-boson scattering

Abstract

We report on a recent calculation of the complete NLO QCD and electroweak corrections to the process pp → µ + ν µ e + ν e jj, i.e. like-sign charged vector-boson scattering. The computation is based on the complete amplitudes involving two different orders of the strong and electroweak coupling constants at tree level and three different orders at one-loop level. We find electroweak corrections of −13% for the fiducial cross section that are an intrinsic feature of the vector-boson scattering process. For differential distributions, the corrections reach up to −40% in the phasespace regions explored. At the NLO level a unique separation between vector-boson scattering and irreducible background processes is not possible any more at the level of Feynman diagrams.13th International Symposium on Radiative Corrections (Applications of Quantum Field Theory to Phenomenology)

Top Quark Pair Production: theory overview

“…The past years have seen a serious effort to include these effects, up to NLO for the process of t t in the dilepton channel [24,25,26,27,28,22,23]. Very recently the hugely complex fully-offshell calculations of t t in the lepton+jets channel [29] and of t tj [30,31] at NLO-QCD have been completed.…”

NLO QCD corrections to off-shell $${t{\bar{t}}W^\pm }$$ production at the LHC: correlations and asymmetries

“…We note here, that state-of-the art theoretical predictions at NLO in QCD with complete top quark off-shell effects included are also available for other processes at the LHC. Such effects, for example, have been incorporated for pp → tt [41][42][43][44], pp → tt j [45,46], pp → tt H [47], pp → ttγ [48] and for tt Z(Z → ν ν ) [49]. They have also been incorporated for the pp → ttbb process [50].…”
