We derive the QCD corrections to the electroweak gauge bosons vacuum polarization functions at high and zero--momentum transfer in the case of arbitrary internal quark masses. We then discuss in this general case (i) the connection between…
We have calculated the electroweak O(\alpha) corrections to the processes p p -> Z \gamma + X -> \nu_l \bar{\nu}_l \gamma + X, p p -> Z \gamma + X -> l \bar{l} \gamma + X, and p p -> W \gamma + X -> \nu_l \bar{l} \gamma + X at the LHC, with…

In processes at the energy much higher than electroweak scale, weak boson mass act as the infrared cutoff in weak boson loops and resulting Sudakov log corrections can be as large as 10%. Since electroweak theory is off-diagonally broken…

In this addendum to Phys. Rev. D 88, no. 1, 013009 (2013), we give results for the electroweak Sudakov corrections in gauge-boson production at large transverse momentum p_T at proton colliders. In order for the results to be easily usable,…
