Inclusive W ([Formula: see text]) boson QCD predictions and lepton charge asymmetry in proton–proton collisions at [Formula: see text] = 14 TeV is performed in this study. Total and fiducial cross section predictions are obtained up to next to next to leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections using Monte Carlo for FeMtobarn processes (MCFM) MC generator. To validate the predictions, a detailed comparison of NNLO QCD calculations with 8 TeV CMS results is performed. To discuss the advantage of the higher order QCD predictions on the scale uncertainty, a scale dependence study is presented based on the choice of renormalization (μR) and factorization (μF) scale variations. W boson – lepton charge asymmetry and differential cross section as a function of lepton pseudorapidity at [Formula: see text] = 14 TeV are further performed in 11 |η| regions.

Prediction of Z→l+l- production cross section (where l±=e±,μ±) in proton-proton collisions at s=14 TeV is estimated up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in perturbative QCD including next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak (EW) corrections. The total inclusive Z boson production cross section times leptonic branching ratio, within the invariant mass window 66<mll<116 GeV, is predicted using NNLO HERAPDF2.0 at NNLO QCD and NLO EW as σZTot=2111.69-26.92+26.31 (PDF) ±11 (αs) ±17 (scale) -30.98+57.41 (parameterization and model). Theoretical prediction of the fiducial cross section is further computed with the latest modern PDF models (CT14, MMHT2014, NNPDF3.0, HERAPDF2.0, and ABM12) at NNLO for QCD and NLO for EW. The central values of the predictions are based on DYNNLO 1.5 program and the uncertainties are extracted using FEWZ 3.1 program. In addition, the cross section is also calculated as functions of μR and μF scales. The choice of μR and μF for scale variation uncertainty is further discussed in detail.

In this paper, we investigate the next-to-leading order contribution of the higher-twist Feynman diagrams to the large-pT inclusive pion production cross-section in proton–proton collisions and present the general formulae for the higher-twist differential cross-sections in the case of the running coupling and frozen coupling approaches. We compared the resummed next-to-leading order higher-twist cross-sections with the ones obtained in the framework of the frozen coupling approach and leading-twist cross-section. The structure of infrared renormalon singularities of the higher-twist subprocess cross-section and its resummed expression (the Borel sum) are found. It is shown that the resummed result depends on the choice of the meson wave functions used in the calculations. We discuss the phenomenological consequences of possible higher-twist contributions to the meson production in proton–proton collisions in next-to-leading order at RHIC.

Abstract This paper presents measurements of the $$W^+ \rightarrow \mu ^+\nu $$W+→μ+ν and $$W^- \rightarrow \mu ^-\nu $$W-→μ-ν cross-sections and the associated charge asymmetry as a function of the absolute pseudorapidity of the decay muon. The data were collected in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 $$\text {TeV}$$TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and correspond to a total integrated luminosity of $$20.2~\text{ fb }^{-1}$$20.2fb-1. The precision of the cross-section measurements varies between 0.8 and 1.5% as a function of the pseudorapidity, excluding the 1.9% uncertainty on the integrated luminosity. The charge asymmetry is measured with an uncertainty between 0.002 and 0.003. The results are compared with predictions based on next-to-next-to-leading-order calculations with various parton distribution functions and have the sensitivity to discriminate between them.
