On-shell Z boson production through ${\cal O}(\alpha \alpha_s)$

Understand

The analytical expressions of the mixed QCD-EW corrections to on-shell Z boson inclusive production cross section at hadron colliders are presented, together with computational details.

• The results are given in terms of polylogarithmic functions and elliptic integrals.
• The impact on the prediction of the Z boson production total cross section is discussed, comparing different proton parton density sets.
