NNLO mixed EW-QCD corrections to single vector boson production

Key Points

• Mixed EW-QCD corrections to vector boson production enhance the accuracy of theoretical predictions.
• The process qq ̄ → Z + X demonstrates significant corrections at the two-loop level, impacting total cross-section calculations.
• Analysis employs differential equations to derive master integrals across virtual and real emissions.
• These corrections may improve precision in collider physics applications, enhancing future experiments at the LHC.
