Abstract

We study the effect of one-loop logarithmic electroweak radiative corrections on WZ and W\ensuremathγ production processes at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. We present analytical results for the leading-logarithmic electroweak corrections to the corresponding partonic processes d\stackrel\ensuremath→uWZ, W\ensuremathγ. Using the leading-pole approximation we implement these corrections into Monte Carlo programs for p\stackrel\ensuremath→pl\ensuremathν_ll^\ensuremath'l^\ensuremath', l\ensuremathν_l\ensuremathγ. We find that electroweak corrections lower the predictions by 5--20 % in the physically interesting region of large transverse momentum and small rapidity separation of the gauge bosons.
