Electroweak corrections to W-boson hadroproduction at finite transverse momentum
Abstract
We calculate the full one-loop electroweak radiative corrections to the cross section of single W-boson inclusive hadroproduction at finite transverse momentum (pT). This includes the O(alpha) corrections to W+j production, the O(alphas) corrections to W+gamma production, and the tree-level contribution from W+j photoproduction with one direct or resolved photon in the initial state. We present the integrated cross section as a function of a minimum-pT cut as well as the pT distribution for the experimental conditions at the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN LHC and estimate the theoretical uncertainties.
