QCD Corrections to Hadronic $Wγ$ Production with Non-standard $WWγ$ Couplings

Abstract

The process

is calculated to

for general

conserving

couplings. At the Tevatron center of mass energy, the QCD corrections to

production are modest, and the Born and inclusive

cross sections have similar sensitivities to the effects of anomalous couplings. At supercollider energies, the inclusive QCD corrections are large at high photon transverse momenta, reducing the sensitivity to non-standard

couplings by up to a factor~2. The size of the QCD corrections can be reduced significantly, and a large fraction of the sensitivity lost can be regained, if a jet veto is imposed.
