Abstract

We study electroweak Sudakov effects in single $W$, $Z$ and $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ production at large transverse momentum using soft collinear effective theory. We present a factorized form of the cross section near the partonic threshold with both QCD and electroweak effects included and compute the electroweak corrections arising at different scales. We analyze their size relative to the QCD corrections as well as the impact of strong-electroweak mixing terms. Numerical results for the vector-boson cross sections at the Large Hadron Collider are presented.
