Higgs-boson production in association with W or Z bosons, p pbar -> WH/ZH + X, is the most promising discovery channel for a light Standard Model Higgs particle at the Fermilab Tevatron. We present the calculation of the electroweak O(alpha) corrections to these processes. The corrections decrease the theoretical prediction by up to 5-10%, depending in detail on the Higgs-boson mass and the input-parameter scheme. We update the cross-section prediction for associated WH and ZH production at the Tevatron and at the LHC, including the next-to-leading order electroweak and QCD corrections, and study the theoretical uncertainties induced by factorization and renormalization scale dependences and by the parton distribution functions.

Evidence for the Higgs-boson Yukawa coupling to tau leptons with the ATLAS detector (2015, neutral): “The predictions for V H production are normalised to cross sections calculated at NNLO in QCD [62], with NLO EW radiative corrections [63] applied.”
Electroweak radiative corrections for collider physics (2019, background): “In this respect it might be interesting to note that for Higgs production processes in e+e− annihilation and at hadron colliders bosonic EW corrections at the level of 5% have been found that could not be attributed to a known source of enhanced corrections [578–582].”
Collider physics at the precision frontier (2020, methodology): “[199], both NLO EW and QCD corrections have been implemented in the program Hawk [181, 182].”
Observation of a new particle in the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson with the ATLAS detector at the LHC (2012, positive): “For the VBF process, full QCD and EW corrections up to NLO [38–41] and approximate NNLO QCD corrections [42] are used to calculate the cross section.”

The cross sections of the WH and ZH (qq¯ !ZH) are calculated including QCD corrections up to NNLO [53,54] and EW corrections up to NLO [55,56] whereas the cross section of the gg!ZH process is calculated up to NLO in QCD corrections [5”
Gluon-induced Higgs-strahlung at next-to-leading order QCD (2012, background): “• NNLO Drell-Yan terms σHV,DY of order g4αn s (n = 0, 1, 2) [7–9]; • electroweak corrections which are applied as an overall factor to the Drell-Yan terms [12, 14];”
Weak corrections to Higgs hadroproduction in association with a top-quark pair (2014, methodology): “So far, EW NLO corrections have been calculated for all of the other main Higgs production channels: gluon fusion [28– 31], vector-boson fusion [32, 33] and V H associated production [34].”
