Measuring the polarization of electroweak bosons at LHC allows for important tests electroweak-symmetry-breaking mechanism that is realized in nature. Therefore, precise Standard Model predictions are needed production polarized presence realistic kinematic selections. We formulate a method calculation cross-sections NLO relies on pole approximation and separation matrix elements amplitude level. In this framework, we compute NLO-accurate two Z LHC, including first time EW corrections combining them with QCD contributions from gluon-induced process.
