Electroweak corrections to W-boson hadroproduction at finite transverse momentum Original Research Article

We calculate the full one-loop electroweak radiative corrections to the cross section of single W-boson inclusive hadroproduction at finite transverse momentum (image). This includes the image corrections to image production, the image corrections to image production, and the tree-level contribution from image photoproduction with one direct or resolved photon in the initial state. We present the integrated cross section as a function of a minimum-image cut as well as the image distribution for the experimental conditions at the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN LHC and estimate the theoretical uncertainties.
