Description

The parity conserving part of the angular distribution are calculated for dileptons arising from the decay of high-qT gauge bosons (W,Z,γ*) produced in hadronic collisions in next-to-leading (NLO) order of perturbative QCD. It is shown that the general structure of the decay lepton distribution is controlled by nine helicity structure functions. A brief outline is given on the complete O(αs2) calculation of these structure functions. Numerical results are presented for W+ production at the Tevatron collider including all the subprocesses up to O(αs2). The results are given both in the Gottfried-Jackson and the Collins-Soper frame. (author) 9 refs., 3 figs
