abstract

We present the first combination of NNLO QCD and NLO EW corrections for vector-boson pair production at the LHC. We consider all final states with two, three and four charged leptons, including resonant and non-resonant diagrams, spin correlations and off-shell effects. Detailed predictions are discussed for three representative channels corresponding to $W^+W^-$, $W^{\pm}Z$ and $ZZ$ production. Both QCD and EW corrections are very significant, and the details of their combination can play a crucial role to achieve the level of precision demanded by experimental analyses. In this context we point out nontrivial issues that arise at large transverse momenta, where the EW corrections are strongly enhanced by Sudakov logarithms and the QCD corrections can feature so-called giant K-factors. Our calculations have been carried out in the MATRIX+OpenLoops framework and can be extended to the production of an arbitrary colour singlet in hadronic collisions, provided that the required two-loop QCD amplitudes are available. Combined NNLO QCD and NLO EW predictions for the full set of massive diboson processes will be made publicly available in the next release of MATRIX and will be instrumental in advancing precision diboson studies and new-physics searches at the LHC and future hadron colliders.

  1. Dimension-8 operators in $W^+W^-$ production via gluon fusion

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The full set of CP-even dimension-8 SMEFT amplitudes for gluon-fusion W+W- production is computed; their SM interference is shown to be negligible under EFT hierarchy, and new operator constraints are derived.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bosonic dimension-8 operators in γγ-initiated WW production dominate over qqbar and set the practical EFT validity scale, yielding validity-aware constraints on dimension-6 Wilson coefficients.

    hep-ph 2025-12 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    All nine planar three-loop four-point integral families for two massive external legs are cast into canonical differential equations and evaluated numerically, completing the set needed for leading-colour N3LO diboson...

    hep-ph 2025-06 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Matrix Hawaii provides a public interface between PineAPPL and MATRIX that generates interpolation grids at NNLO QCD + NLO EW accuracy for a range of LHC processes, with sub-permille interpolation errors.

    hep-ph 2024-12 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Exact mixed QCD-EW corrections at order alpha_s alpha to neutral-current Drell-Yan production are computed and applied to distributions, the forward-backward asymmetry, and dressed leptons.
