Weak radiative corrections to dijet production at the LHC

2013
We summarize the calculation of the weak correctionsto dijet production at hadron colliders, comprising tree- level effectsof O(\alpha_s\alpha,\alpha^2) and loop correctionsof O(\alpha_s^2\alpha). Although suppressed by the small value of the coupling constant \alpha, the weak radiative correctionscan become large in the high-energy domain due to the appearance of Sudakov-type and other high-energy logarithms. Generally the correctionsto the transverse-momentum distributions are larger by approximately a factor of two compared to the corresponding reach in the invariant- mass distributions, because the invariant- mass distributionsare not, unlike the k_T distributions, dominated by the Sudakov regime at high scales. The electroweak tree-level contributions are found to be of the same generic size as the loop corrections.
