High-energy logarithmic corrections to the QCD component of same-sign W-pair production


Abstract in English

We describe the calculation of the QCD contribution to same-sign $W$-pair production, $ppto e^pm u_e mu^pm u_mu jj$, resumming all contributions scaling as $alpha_W^4 alpha_s^{2+k}log^k(hat s/p_perp^2)$ [arXiv:2107.06818]. These leading logarithmic contributions are enhanced by typical cuts used for Vector Boson Scattering (VBS) studies. We show that while the cross sections are little affected by these corrections, other more exclusive observables relevant for experimental studies are affected more significantly.
