Higher-order QCD corrections for the W-boson transverse momentum distribution

Kidonakis, Nikolaos, Gonsalves, Richard J.

Understand

We present results for W-boson production at large transverse momentum at LHC and Tevatron energies.

  • We calculate complete next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD corrections and higher-order soft-gluon corrections to the differential cross section.
  • The soft-gluon contributions are resummed at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm (NNLL) accuracy via the two-loop soft anomalous dimensions.
  • Both NLO and approximate next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) p_T distributions are presented.
