QCD corrections to hadronic WWZ production with leptonic decays

Understand

Multi-lepton signatures appear in many new physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider.

• We here consider WWZ production with subsequent leptonic decay of the three vector bosons as a SM source of multi-lepton events.
• We have calculated the next-to-leading order QCD corrections for the full $p p\to 6$ lepton production cross sections in hadronic collisions.
• Results have been implemented in the form of a flexible parton-level Monte-Carlo program which allows to calculate the QCD corrections for arbitrary distributions and acceptance cuts.
