Abstract
We review the present status of higher-order calculations for single W and Z boson production at hadron colliders, and present some preliminary results on the combination of electroweak and QCD corrections to a sample of observables of the process pp̄ → W± → μ± +X at the Tevatron and at the LHC. Our phenomenological analysis shows that a high-precision knowledge of QCD and a careful combination of electroweak and strong contributions is mandatory in view of the anticipated experimental accuracy.File in questo prodotto:
