NLO-QCD corrections to WZ and Wγ-production

  • 1. TP, KIT-Karlsruhe (Germany)

Description

The SM-processes q anti q→WZ and q anti q→Wγ are sensitive to anomalies in triple gauge boson couplings. Measuring them can provide hints of BSM-physics or give evidence that the SM is a gauge theory with minimal couplings. Since both processes have large K-factors, the calculation of at least NLO corrections are necessary. They were implemented in VBFNLO with full leptonic decays and full finite width effects. In the talk I discuss some possible observables to measure the anomalous triple gauge boson couplings, with and without a jet veto, and compare estimates of their theoretical uncertainties.
