Abstract

In this work we extend the qTq_T-subtraction formalism, originally developed for QCD corrections, to the case of mixed QCD\otimesQED corrections, and apply it to the fully exclusive calculation of the O(αsα){\cal{O}}(\alpha_s\alpha) contribution to the production of an off-shell ZZ boson in hadronic collisions. We present explicit results for the subtraction term and the hard factor, therefore providing all the ingredients needed for the application of the formalism up to O(αsα){\cal{O}}(\alpha_s\alpha). To study the phenomenological impact we consider the decay of the off-shell ZZ boson into a pair of neutrinos, and present kinematical distributions for the final-state leptons at LHC energies.
