Description

We present the calculation of the most important electroweak corrections to dijet production at the LHC and the Tevatron, comprising tree-level effects of O(\alpha_s\alpha,\alpha^2) and weak loop corrections of O(\alpha_s^2\alpha). Although suppressed by the small value of the coupling constant \alpha, these corrections can become large in the high-energy domain due to the appearance of Sudakov-type and other high-energy logarithms. A particular emphasis is put on the impact of the definition of observables, where the corrections become larger when the observable is dominated by the Sudakov regime at high energy scales.
