EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Precise predictions for joint polarization fractions in $W Z$ production at the LHC

Giovanni Pelliccioli and Rene Poncelet

Phys. Rev. D 113, 053008 (2026) - Published 25 March, 2026

Multi-electroweak boson production at the Large Hadron Collider is directly sensitive to the non-Abelian nature of the electroweak force, and new physics may modify the triple gauge coupling from its Standard Model value. The authors achieve next-to-next-to-leading order QCD and next-to-leading order electroweak accuracy in predictions of cross sections for polarized WZ boson production with leptonic decay, pushing the precision boundary to experimentally-realizable processes.
