Weak Corrections to Hadronic Observables

TL;DR

This paper discusses one-loop weak corrections to various hadronic observables, including three-jet production in electron-positron collisions, Z or gamma production with jets at hadron colliders, and b-jet cross sections at Tevatron and LHC.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of weak corrections to multiple hadronic processes relevant for collider experiments.

Findings

Weak corrections can significantly affect three-jet production rates.

Corrections impact Z and gamma associated production cross sections.

Results are relevant for precision measurements at colliders.

Abstract

We illustrate one-loop weak corrections to three-jet production in $e^+e^-$ at $\sqrt{s}=M_Z$, to the production of a $Z$ or $\gamma$ in association with a hard jet at hadron colliders and to the production cross section of two $b$-jets at Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
