NLO QCD corrections to Single Top and W associated production at the LHC with forward detector acceptances
In this paper we study the Single Top and W boson associated photoproduction
via the main reaction at
the 14 TeV Large Hadron Collider (LHC) up to next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD
level assuming a typical LHC multipurpose forward detector. We use the
Five-Flavor-Number Schemes (5FNS) with massless bottom quark assumption in the
whole calculation. Our results show that the QCD NLO corrections can reduce the
scale uncertainty. The typical K-factors are in the range of 1.15 to 1.2 which
lead to the QCD NLO corrections of 15 to 20 correspond to the
leading-order (LO) predictions with our chosen parameters.Comment: 41pages, 12figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with
