Abstract

We study the effect of one-loop logarithmic electroweak radiative corrections on WZ and Wγ production processes at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. We present analytical results for the leading-logarithmic electroweak corrections to the corresponding partonic processes d¯u→WZ, Wγ. Using the leading-pole approximation we implement these corrections into Monte Carlo programs for pp→lνll′l′, lνlγ. We find that electroweak corrections lower the predictions by 5–20 % in the physically interesting region of large transverse momentum and small rapidity separation of the gauge bosons.
