Description
The results of computation of one-loop electroweak (EW) corrections to the cross sections of single W and Z boson production at LHC: pp → W → l nu, pp → Z → l l with help of SANC Monte Carlo generators of unweighted events are presented. These calculations are combined with QCD parton showers, realized in general-purpose Monte Carlo generators Pythia8 and Herwig++, which use different approach to generating parton showers and give 2-3 % difference for corrections to certain observables. The EW corrections itself are about -2-3% for inclusive cross-sections and reach up to ~ 10% for some distributions.
