Abstract

We compute the next-to-leading order corrections of O(αs2α3)O(\alpha_s^2\alpha^3) to the hadronic production of two oppositely charged leptons and two hard jets, ppjjll+p p \to j j l^- l^+, using Recola and Collier. We include electroweak and QCD corrections at the given order and all off-shell effects. We provide detailed predictions for the LHC operating at 13 TeV and obtain per-cent-level corrections for the total cross section. For differential distributions we find significant non-uniform distortions in high-energy tails at the level of several ten per cent due to electroweak Sudakov logarithms and deformations at the level of a few per cent for angular variables.
