Helicity Amplitudes for ${\cal O}(α_s)$ Production of $W^+ W^-, W^\pm Z, Z Z, W^\pm γ,$ or $Z γ$ Pairs at Hadron Colliders

Abstract

We present the one-loop QCD corrections to the helicity amplitudes for the processes , or , including the subsequent decay of each massive vector boson into a pair of leptons. We also give the corresponding tree-level amplitudes with an additional gluon radiated off the quark line. Together, these amplitudes provide all the necessary input for the calculation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of any electroweak vector boson pair at hadron colliders, including the full spin and decay angle correlations.
