1212.2543 (Nikolaos Kidonakis et al.)

NNLL resummation for W-boson production at large pT    [PDF]

Nikolaos Kidonakis, Richard J. Gonsalves
We present new results for W-boson production at large transverse momentum at the LHC and the Tevatron. The contribution of soft-gluon corrections is derived from NNLL resummation and added to the exact NLO result. Numerical results and their uncertainties for the approximate NNLO W-boson transverse momentum distributions are derived and compared to recent data from the LHC.
