We present numerical results (including full one-loop QCD corrections) for the processes p p-bar and pp -> W+ W-, W+/- Z/gamma* and Z/gamma* Z/gamma* followed by the decay of the massive vector bosons into leptons. In addition to their intrinsic importance as tests of the standard model, these processes are also backgrounds to conjectured non-standard model processes. Because of the small cross sections at the Tevatron, full experimental control of these backgrounds will be hard to achieve. This accentuates the need for up-to-date theoretical information. A comparison is made with earlier work and cross section results are presented for p p-bar collisions at sqrt{s}=2 TeV and pp collisions at sqrt{s}=14 TeV. Practical examples of the use of our calculations are presented.

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Alaric shower is matched to NLO matrix elements and merged to five jets in e+e- to hadrons, with new analytic subtraction terms validated against Catani-Seymour subtraction.

  2. Measurement of WWZ and ZH production cross sections at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 and 13.6 TeV

    hep-ex 2025-05 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    The WWZ and ZH production rates match the standard model, with a combined significance of 4.5 standard deviations and first evidence at 13.6 TeV.

  3. Measurement of the Higgs boson total decay width using the H $\to$ WW $\to$ e$\nu\mu\nu$ decay channel in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-01 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    CMS measures the Higgs total width as 3.9 +2.7 -2.2 MeV from the ratio of off-shell to on-shell H→WW production, consistent with the Standard Model.

  4. Probing SU(2) Quark Flavor Asymmetry with W Bosons at RHIC

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    The STAR W+/W- lepton pseudorapidity ratio is nearly insensitive to QCD recoil veto effects and resummation, making it a usable probe of the proton's dbar/ubar asymmetry near x=0.1.

    No excess observed in search for vector-like T-quarks in Ht channel; 95% CL mass limits set at 1.40 TeV (SU(2) singlet), 1.56 TeV (doublet), and 1.66 TeV (100% BR to Ht).
