Abstract

We present a full computation of dσ/dqT2 for W, Z and virtual γ production to second order in QCD. This includes qg, gg, and singlet q+qq collisions in addition to the usual non-singlet q+qq. The primary motivation is the importance of quark-gluon collisions at Tevatron energies. Attention is restricted to high and moderate qT, avoiding the resummation necessary at small transverse momentum. We give analytic results for all constituent cross-sections dσ/dqT2d y and, for W and Z production, numerically convolute them with structure functions.
