W-boson production in polarized proton-proton collisions at RHIC through next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD
We perform a study of W-boson production in polarized proton-proton collisions through next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in perturbative QCD. This calculation is required to extend the extraction of polarized parton distribution functions to NNLO accuracy. We present differential distributions at...
