NLO QCD corrections to Wγ production via vector boson fusion — •Nicolas Kaiser, Francisco Campanario, and Dieter Zeppenfeld — ITP, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany

Vector boson fusion processes will be used to probe the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking at the LHC. Wγ production via vector boson fusion is expected to yield important information on triple and quartic vector boson couplings. We have implemented the full next-to-leading order QCD corrections to Wγ production via vector boson fusion in a flexible parton-level Monte Carlo program, VBFNLO. Here we will present our results.
