Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to W+W+jj and W-W-jj production via weak-boson fusion

Understand

We present a next-to-leading order QCD calculation for e+ nu_e mu+ nu_mu jj and e- nubar_e mu- nubar_mu jj production via weak boson fusion at a hadron collider in the form of a fully-flexible parton-level Monte Carlo program, which allows for the calculation of experimentally accessible observables within realistic selection cuts.

• The QCD corrections to the integrated cross sections are found to be modest, while the shapes of some kinematical distributions change appreciably compared to leading order.
• The residual scale uncertainties of the next-to-leading order results are at the few-percent level.
