NNLO QCD study of polarised $W^+ W^-$ production at the LHC

no code implementations • 26 Feb 2021 • Rene Poncelet, Andrei Popescu

Longitudinal polarisation of the weak bosons is a direct consequence of Electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism providing an insight into its nature, and is instrumental in searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.
