All off-shell, gauge-boson-decay, and interference effects are taken into account for the process $\\mathrm{p} \\mathrm{p} \\to \\mu^+\\mu^-\\mathrm{e}^+\\nu_\\mathrm{e} \\mathrm{j} \\mathrm{j} + X$ at the orders $\\mathcal{O}{\\left( \\alpha_\\mathrm{s} \\alpha^6 \\right)}$ and $\\mathcal{O}{\\left( \\alpha^7 \\right)}$. The electroweak corrections feature the typical Sudakov behaviour towards high energy and amount to $-16\\%$ relative to the electroweak contribution to the integrated cross section. Moreover, the corrections induce significant shape distortions in differential distributions. The next-to-leading-order analysis of the quark- and gluon-induced channels is supplemented by a leading-order study of all possible contributions to the full $4\\ell+2\\mbox{jets}$ production cross section in a realistic fiducial phase-space volume.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.00882v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.00882v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"qcd-and-electroweak-corrections-to-wz","repo_url":"https://github.com/cschwan/hep-mc","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
