Polarization and correlation effects in $\gamma\gamma \to W^-W^+$ at Next-to-Leading-Order Electroweak Accuracy
We study the next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak (EW) corrections to the polarization and correlation of $W$ boson pairs produced through photon-photon fusion in proton-proton ultra-peripheral collisions at the LHC, with both $W$ bosons decaying leptonically. The azimuthal correlation distributions of the charged l...
