Abstract

We have studied the effect of one-loop logarithmic electroweak radiative corrections on WZ and WγW\gamma production processes at the LHC. We present analytical results for the leading-logarithmic electroweak corrections to the corresponding partonic processes du -> WZ, Wgamma. Using the leading-pole approximation we implement these corrections into Monte Carlo programs for pplνlllˉ,lνlγpp\to l\nu_l l'\bar l', l\nu_l\gamma. We find that electroweak corrections lower the predictions by 5-20% in the physically interesting region of large transverse momentum and small rapidity separation of the gauge bosons.
