Vector Boson Pair Production in Hadronic Collisions at Order alpha(s): Lepton Correlations and Anomalous Couplings

Abstract

We present cross sections for production of electroweak vector boson pairs, WW, WZ and ZZ, in p{bar p} and pp collisions, at next-to-leading order in {alpha}{sub s}. We treat the leptonic decays of the bosons in the narrow-width approximation, but retain all spin information via decay angle correlations. We also include the effects of WWZ and WW{gamma} anomalous couplings.
