Phys. Rev. D 48, 5140–5161 (1993)QCD corrections to hadronic Wγ production with nonstandard WWγ couplingsReceived 25 May 1993; published in the issue dated 1 December 1993 The process pp(¯)→W±γ+X→ℓ±νγ+X is calculated to O(αs) for general CP-conserving WWγ couplings. At the Fermilab Tevatron center-of-mass energy, the QCD corrections to Wγ production are modest, and the Born and inclusive O(αs) cross sections have similar sensitivities to the effects of anomalous couplings. At supercollider energies, the inclusive QCD corrections are large at high photon transverse momenta, reducing the sensitivity to nonstandard WWγ couplings by up to a factor 2. The size of the QCD corrections can be reduced significantly, and a large fraction of the sensitivity lost can be regained, if a jet veto is imposed. © 1993 The American Physical Society URL:
