Description
I will present an overview of fixed-order calculations of vector-boson scattering (VBS), which is the production of two, usually massive, vector bosons (W/Z) together with two jets.
For the fully leptonic decays the calculation of NLO EW corrections has now been completed, and I will specifically present the calculation for the case of W+W- scattering.
I will then proceed with a calculation of top-Z-jet production, which is an reducible background process of WZ scattering, and also an interesting process in its own right.
Finally, I will present an ongoing calculation of semi-leptonic VBS in pp -> mu+ vm jjjj + X, where one of the bosons decays hadronically.
