Vector boson fusion processes are considered as particularly
interesting class of reactions for gaining insight into the mechanism
of electroweak symmetry breaking at the LHC. To match the statistical
accuracy of the experiment, next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD
calculations have to be provided for signal and background processes.
Here, we present NLO QCD predictions for vector-boson pair production
via weak boson fusion, making use of a parton-level Monte Carlo
program that allows for the application of realistic experimental
acceptance cuts and the calculation of cross sections as well as
kinematic distributions.
