$Z\gamma$ production at hadron colliders in NNLO QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-17 v2

Abstract

We consider the production of ZγZ\gamma pairs at hadron colliders. We report on the first complete and fully differential computation of radiative corrections at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD perturbation theory. We present selected numerical results for pp collisions at 7 TeV and compare them to available LHC data. We find that the impact of the NNLO QCD corrections on the fiducial cross section ranges between 4 and 15%, depending on the applied cuts.
