Large-Q_T W-boson production at the Tevatron

Abstract

The production of W bosons at large transverse momentum at the Tevatron is dominated by soft-gluon corrections. In this talk we present a calculation of these corrections at next-to-next-to-leading order. The corrections enhance the transverse momentum distribution of the W while reducing the scale dependence.
