Description

In this talk, we discuss some recent results related with highly-precise predictions for hadron colliders involving mixed QCD-QED effects. First, we explore fixed-order QED corrections, showing that the presence of extra-photon radiation leads to novel effects. Then, we describe a generalization of the $q_T$ resummation/subtraction formalism to deal with photon-gluon radiation simultaneously. Using Z production as a benchmark example, we show that the inclusion of these higher-order corrections stabilizes the dependence of the final predictions on the arbitrary renormalization/factorization/resummation scales.
