We summarize the calculation of the weak corrections to dijet production at hadron colliders, comprising tree-level effects of O(αsα,α2) and loop corrections of O(αs2α). Although suppressed by the small value of the coupling constant α, the weak radiative corrections can become large in the high-energy domain due to the appearance of Sudakov-type and other high-energy logarithms. Generally the corrections to 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 distributions are not, unlike the kT 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.
