NLO QCD corrections to $W^{\pm }Z\gamma$ production with leptonic decays

Abstract

We present a computation of the O(alpha_s) QCD corrections to W^\pm Z γproduction at the Large Hadron Collider. The photon is considered as real, and we include full leptonic decays for the W and Z bosons. Based on the structure of the VBFNLO program package, we obtain numerical results through a fully flexible Monte Carlo program, which allows to implement general cuts and distributions of the final-state particles. The NLO QCD corrections are sizable and strongly exceed the theory error obtained by a scale variation of the leading-order result. Also, the shapes of relevant observables are significantly altered.
