Weak interaction corrections to muon pair production via the photon fusion at the LHC

Analytical formulas describing the correction due to the $Z$ boson exchange to the cross section of the reaction $pp\rightarrow p\mu^+\mu^- X$ are presented. When the invariant mass of the produced muon pair $W\gtrsim 150~\text{GeV}$ and its total transverse momentum is large, the correction is of t...

Description
Summary:Analytical formulas describing the correction due to the $Z$ boson exchange to the cross section of the reaction $pp\rightarrow p\mu^+\mu^- X$ are presented. When the invariant mass of the produced muon pair $W\gtrsim 150~\text{GeV}$ and its total transverse momentum is large, the correction is of the order of 20%.
