Vector boson production at hadron colliders: A fully exclusive QCD calculation at next-to-next-to-leading order

We consider QCD radiative corrections to the production of W and Z bosons in hadron collisions. We present a fully exclusive calculation up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD perturbation theory. To perform this NNLO computation, we use a recently proposed version of the subtraction form...
