We present the one-loop QCD corrections to the helicity amplitudes for the processes $q\qb \to W^+ W^-, Z Z, W^\pm Z, W^\pm \gamma$, or $Z \gamma$, including the subsequent decay of each massive vector boson into a pair of leptons. We also…

The longitudinal polarisation states of the $W$ and $Z$ bosons arise during electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking as the vector bosons absorb the Higgs boson's massless degrees of freedom. Consequently, these states are intrinsically linked to…
We study the incidence of genuine quartic vector boson couplings in the reactions e-e- -> e-e-ZZ, e-\nu ZW, \nu\nu WW. We find that a linear collider operated in the e-e- mode will provide bounds on these couplings which are competitive…
