NLO QCD corrections to WW+jet production at hadron colliders

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We report on the calculation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of W-boson pairs in association with a hard jet at the Tevatron and the LHC, which is an important source of background for Higgs and new-physics searches. The corrections stabilize the leading-order prediction for the cross section considerably, in particular if a veto against the emission of a second hard jet is applied.
