Title: $W$ -boson plus jet differential distributions at NNLO in QCD

Abstract

We present a detailed phenomenological study of $$W$$-boson production in association with a jet through next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in perturbative QCD. Fiducial cross sections and differential distributions for both 8 TeV and 13 TeV LHC collisions are presented, as are results for both the inclusive one-jet bin and the exclusive one-jet bin. Two different event selection criteria are considered: a general selection with standard cuts used in experimental analyses, and a boosted selection that focuses on high transverse momentum jets. We discuss the higher-order corrections in detail and identify for which observables and phase space regions the QCD perturbative expansion is under good theoretical control, and where additional work is needed. For most distributions and phase space regions the QCD perturbative expansion exhibits good convergence after the inclusion of the NNLO corrections.

Phenomenology of the $Z$ boson plus jet process at NNLO

Journal Article Boughezal, Radja ; Liu, Xiaohui ; Petriello, Frank - Physical Review D

Here, we present a detailed phenomenological study of Z-boson production in association with a jet through next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in perturbative QCD. Fiducial cross sections and differential distributions for both 8 TeV and 13 TeV LHC collisions are presented. We study the impact of different parton distribution functions (PDFs) on predictions for the Z + jet process. Upon inclusion of the NNLO corrections, the residual scale uncertainty is reduced such that both the total rate and the transverse momentum distributions can be used to discriminate between various PDF sets.

A comparison of NNLO QCD predictions with 7 TeV ATLAS and CMS data for V+jet processes

Journal Article Boughezal, Radja ; Liu, Xiaohui ; Petriello, Frank - Physics Letters B

Here, we perform a detailed comparison of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD predictions for the W+jet and Z+jet processes with 7 TeV experimental data from ATLAS and CMS. We observe excellent agreement between theory and data for most studied observables, which span several orders of magnitude in both cross section and energy. For some observables, such as theH_T distribution, the NNLO QCD corrections are essential for resolving existing discrepancies between theory and data.

Differential distributions for t-channel single top-quark production and decay at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD

Journal Article Berger, Edmond L. ; Gao, Jun ; Zhu, Hua Xing - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We present a detailed phenomenological study of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections for t-channel single top (anti-)quark production and its semi-leptonic decay at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We find the NNLO corrections for the total inclusive rates at the LHC with different center of mass energies are generally smaller than the NLO corrections, indicative of improved convergence. However, they can be large for differential distributions, reaching a level of 10% or more in certain regions of the transverse momentum distributions of the top (anti-)quark and the pseudo-rapidity distributions of the leading jet in the event.

Matching NNLO predictions to parton showers using $N^{3} LL$ color-singlet transverse momentum resummation in geneva

Journal Article Alioli, Simone ; Broggio, Alessandro ; Gavardi, Alessandro ; ... - Physical Review D

We extend the geneva Monte Carlo framework using the transverse momentum of a color-singlet system as the resolution variable. This allows us to use next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm (N3LL) resummation via the radish formalism to obtain precise predictions for any color-singlet production process at the fully exclusive level. Thanks to the implementation of two different resolution variables within the geneva framework, we are able to assess the impact of such a choice on differential observables for the first time. As a first application, we present predictions for Drell-Yan lepton-pair production at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD interfaced to a parton shower simulation thatmore »« less
