Electroweak corrections to dilepton + jet production at hadron colliders

Denner, Ansgar, Dittmaier, Stefan, Kasprzik, Tobias et al.

Understand

The first calculation of the next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to Z-boson + jet hadroproduction including leptonic Z-boson decays is presented, i.e.

  • to the production of a charged lepton--anti-lepton final state in association with one hard jet at the LHC and the Tevatron.
  • The Z-boson resonance is treated consistently using the complex-mass scheme, and all off-shell effects as well as the contributions of the intermediate photon are taken into account.
  • The corresponding next-to-leading-order QCD corrections have also been recalculated.
