Weak Bosons and Jets at the LHC

TL;DR

This paper discusses theoretical predictions for weak boson pair production with two jets at the LHC, focusing on next-to-leading order QCD corrections and their implementation in simulation frameworks.

Contribution

It provides detailed NLO QCD calculations for specific weak boson pair plus two jets processes and integrates these with parton shower simulations using POWHEG BOX.

Findings

NLO QCD corrections for $pp\to W^+W^+jj$ and $pp\to W^+W^-jj$ are computed.

The interfacing with parton shower frameworks is demonstrated.

Enhanced accuracy in theoretical predictions for weak boson plus jets processes.

Abstract

In this talk, I outline theoretical predictions for weak boson pair production in association with two jets at the LHC. I will discuss the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the processes $pp\to W^+W^+jj$ and $pp\to W^+W^-jj$, and the interfacing of $pp\to W^+W^+jj$ with a parton shower using the {\tt POWHEG BOX} framework.
