NLO-QCD corrections to $W{\hat{I}}^{3}j$ production

Abstract

We calculate the $W^{\pm }{\hat{I}}^{3}j+X$-production cross sections at next-to-leading order QCD for Tevatron and LHC collisions. We include leptonic decays of the $W$ to light leptons, with all off-shell effects taken into account. The corrections are sizable and have significant impact on the differential distributions.
