We study W-boson production with large transverse momentum, QT, in pp collisions at the LHC. We calculate the complete NLO corrections and the soft-gluon NNLO corrections to the differential cross section. The NLO corrections are large but they do not reduce the scale dependence relative to LO, while the NNLO soft-gluon corrections, although small, significantly reduce the scale dependence and thus provide a more stable result.
Soft-Gluon Corrections In Hard-Scattering Processes Through Nnnlo, Nikolaos Kidonakis
Soft-Gluon Corrections In Hard-Scattering Processes Through Nnnlo, Nikolaos Kidonakis
Faculty and Research Publications
I discuss soft-gluon corrections in hard-scattering processes and their resummation. I present master formulas for the expansion of the resummed cross section through NNNLO and discuss the significance of these corrections in a number of processes.
