EW corrections to Higgs strahlung at the Tevatron and the LHC with HAWK
Abstract
We briefly report on the inclusion of NLO QCD and electroweak corrections to the Higgs-strahlung processes pp/ppbar -> HW/Z -> H+2leptons in the Monte Carlo program HAWK. The electroweak corrections, which are at the level of -(5-10)% for total cross sections, further increase in size with increasing transverse momenta (pT) in differential cross sections. For instance, for pT,H>200GeV, which is the interesting range at the LHC, the electroweak corrections to WH production reach about -15% for MH=120GeV.
