W+W− production at the LHC: NLO QCD corrections to the loop-induced gluon fusion channel

We compute the NLO QCD corrections to the loop-induced gluon fusion contribution in W+W− production at the LHC. We consider the full leptonic process pp→ℓ+ℓ′−νℓν¯ℓ′+X, by including resonant and non-resonant diagrams, spin correlations and off-shell effects. Quark–gluon partonic channels are included...
