9. NNLO Corrections to W Boson Production

Mr Duncan Walker (IPPP, Durham University)

The inclusive production of leptonically decaying W bosons at the LHC is an important reference process for many analyses, and is relevant to our knowledge of the structure of the proton. We will present the results from a calculation of the W boson transverse momentum distribution at NNLO QCD using the method of antenna subtraction.

0. Threshold resummation in rapidity for colorless particle production at the LHC

Dr Goutam Das (DESY, Hamburg)

We present a formalism that resums threshold enhanced logarithms to all orders in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics for the rapidity distribution of any colorless particle produced in hadron colliders. We achieve this by exploiting the factorization properties and K+G equations satisfied by the soft and virtual parts of the cross section. We compute for the first time, the resummed result in...
