Abstract

In these proceedings, we review results for several di-boson production processes beyond NLO QCD at high transverse momenta using the VBFNLO Monte-Carlo program together with the LOOPSIM method. Additionally, we show for the WZ production process how higher order QCD corrections can resemble anomalous coupling effects.

Highlights

  • Di-boson production processes are important channels to test the Standard Model (SM) at the LHC

  • We review results for several di-boson production processes beyond NLO QCD at high transverse momenta using the VBFNLO Monte-Carlo program together with the LOOPSIM method

  • They have been studied intensively in the past years both from the theoretical and the experimental side. They are sensitive to triple gauge boson couplings, and provide a unique avenue to quantify deviations from the SM predictions

Summary

Introduction

Di-boson production processes are important channels to test the Standard Model (SM) at the LHC. They have been studied intensively in the past years both from the theoretical and the experimental side As a signal, they are sensitive to triple gauge boson couplings, and provide a unique avenue to quantify deviations from the SM predictions. Due to the large size of the next-to-leading order(NLO) corrections and the expected percent precision measurement at the LHC, the theoretical community has pursued in the last years the task to provide next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD results. This task has been almost completed in the last years and exact results at NNLO are known for most of the processes, for total cross sections [1], and for differential distributions [2]. We will show preliminary results of anomalous couplings effects in W Z production
