In the framework of the littlest Higgs model with $T$ parity, we study the $W_H/Z_H+q_-$ and $W_H$-pair productions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider up to the QCD next-to-leading order (NLO). The kinematic distributions of final decay…

We compute the NLO QCD corrections to the loop-induced gluon fusion contribution in $W^+W^-$ production at the LHC. We consider the full leptonic process $pp\to \ell^+\ell^{\prime\, -}\nu_{\ell}{\bar\nu}_{\ell^\prime}+X$, by including…
In view of the persisting tension between theoretical predictions and the LHC data for the $pp \to t\bar{t}W^\pm$ production process, we present the state-of-the-art full off-shell NLO QCD result for $pp \to t\bar{t}W^+\, j+X$. We…
Because the LHC is a proton-proton collider, sizable production of two positively charged W-bosons in association with two jets is possible. This process leads to a distinct signature of same sign high-pt leptons, missing energy and jets.…

We calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the $J/\psi +W$ production at the LHC, and provide the theoretical distribution of the $J/\psi$ transverse momentum. Our results show that the differential cross section…
The inclusive production cross sections for $W^+, W^-$ and $Z^0$-bosons form important benchmarks for the physics at hadron colliders. We perform a detailed comparison of the predictions for these standard candles based on recent…
We study Higgs boson production in association with a top quark and a $W$ boson at the LHC. At NLO in QCD, $tWH$ interferes with $t\bar t H$ and a procedure to meaningfully separate the two processes needs to be employed. In order to define…
The status of di-boson and tri-boson production is shortly review. Using the VBFNLO and the LOOPSIM package, approximated results at NNLO QCD are given for WZ production. Results for waa + jet at NLO QCD are also shown.

Measurements of W-boson production at the LHC have reached percent-level precision and impose challenging demands on theoretical predictions. Such predictions directly limit the precision of measurements of fundamental quantities such as…
