Abstract: (arXiv)
The processes ppV1V2+X1ˉ12ˉ2+Xp p \rightarrow V_1 V_2 + X \rightarrow \ell_1 \bar \ell_1 \ell_2 \bar \ell_2 + X, where Vi=W±V_i = W^{\pm} or ZZ and i\ell_i denotes a lepton, are calculated to O(αs){\cal O}(\alpha_s). Total and differential cross sections, with acceptance cuts imposed on the final state leptons, are given for the Tevatron and LHC center of mass energies. Inclusive and exclusive 00-jet and 11-jet cross sections are given. The transverse momenta spectra of the leptons are significantly enhanced at high pTp_T^{} by the QCD radiative corrections, especially at the LHC energy. Invariant mass and angular distributions are scaled up in magnitude by the QCD radiative corrections, but are little changed in shape.
