Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to photon production via weak-boson fusion

Understand

We present a calculation of next-to-leading order QCD corrections to gamma jj production via weak-boson fusion at a hadron collider in the form of a flexible parton-level Monte Carlo program which allows us to study cross sections and distributions within experimentally relevant selection cuts.

• The radiative corrections are found to be moderate with residual scale uncertainties being considerably improved beyond tree level.
• The sensitivity of the reaction to anomalous W+ W- gamma couplings is investigated.
