QCD corrections to VVjj production at the LHC — Francisco Campanario², •Matthias Kerner¹, Duc Ninh Le¹, and Dieter Zeppenfeld¹ — ¹ITP, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany — ²IFIC, University of Valencia, Paterna, Spain

The production processes of two vector bosons in association with two jets at the LHC are important since they allow to probe vector boson scattering and are sensitive to triple and quartic gauge couplings. In addition, they are also backgrounds to various searches for beyond the standard model physics. They can be classified into purely electroweak contributions of order O(α⁶) and QCD-induced channels of order O(α⁴ α_s²).

In this talk, we report on the progress in implementing QCD-induced VVjj production at next-to-leading order QCD into the flexible parton level Monte Carlo program VBFNLO and we present phenomenological results.
