Abstract

We present a resummation of those double-logarithmically enhanced electroweak correction that arise in pp colliders because protons are not SU(2) singlets, by solving DGLAP equations in the full Standard Model. We then show how to match these results with those of fixed-order electroweak calculations. At a 100 TeV pp collider, contributions beyond order alpha are ~ 10% at partonic center-of-mass energies of a few TeV. These are mainly due to initial states with massive vector bosons.
