Soft-gluon Corrections for tZ Production Via Anomalous Couplings
ORAL
Abstract
We present calculations for tZ production via an anomalous tqZ coupling. We provide results for the total hadronic cross section for the process pp -$>$ tZ at LHC energies. Included in our calculations are next-to-leading order (NLO) soft gluon corrections, as well as next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) soft gluon corrections. We show the size of these NLO and NNLO corrections and their effect on the scale dependence of the cross sections relative to the leading-order results.
