چکیده

We present results for the Z-boson and W -boson transverse momentum (pT ) distributions for large pT at LHC and Tevatron energies. We calculate complete next-to-leadingorder (NLO) QCD corrections as well as soft-gluon corrections at next-to-next-to-leadingorder (NNLO) to the differential cross section. The NNLO soft-gluon contributions are derived from next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm (NNLL) resummation at two loops. We find enhancements of the pT distributions and reductions of the scale dependence when the NNLO corrections are included.

Higher-order QCD Corrections for the W-boson Transverse Momentum Distribution

We present results for W -boson production at large transverse momentum at LHC and Tevatron energies. We calculate complete next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD corrections and higher-order soft-gluon corrections to the differential cross section. The soft-gluon contributions are resummed at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm (NNLL) accuracy via the two-loop soft anomalous dimensions. Both NLO and ap...

Production of Large Transverse Momentum W Bosons at the Tevatron

We discuss the production of W bosons at large transverse momentum in pp̄ collisions at the Tevatron Run I and II. W boson hadroproduction is a process of relevance in testing the Standard Model and in estimates of backgrounds to new physics. The next–to–leading order cross section in the region of large transverse momentum is dominated by threshold soft– gluon corrections which arise from incom...

-boson production with large transverse momentum at the LHC

We study W -boson production with large transverse momentum, QT , in pp collisions at the LHC. We calculate the complete NLO corrections and the soft-gluon NNLO corrections to the differential cross section. The NLO corrections are large but they do not reduce the scale dependence relative to LO, while the NNLO soft-gluon corrections, although small, significantly reduce the scale dependence an...

Electroweak-boson hadroproduction at large transverse momentum: factorization, resummation, and NNLO corrections

We study the resummation of singular distributions for electroweakboson production at large transverse momentum in hadronic collisions. We describe the factorization properties of the cross section near partonic threshold and construct the resummed cross section at next-toleading logarithmic accuracy in moment space in terms of soft gluon anomalous dimensions. We present full analytical results...

When probed near an exclusive boundary of phase space, perturbative partonic hardscattering cross sections for electroweak-boson (γ, W, Z, H) production acquire large logarithmic corrections arising from incomplete cancellations of soft-gluon effects between virtual and real diagrams. The two prominent examples are threshold and recoil corrections. The former are of the form α s ln (1−z)/(1−z) ...
