TTP04-02 Precision Calculations for Associated WH and ZH Production at Hadron Colliders

Recently the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections and the electroweak O(\alpha) corrections to the Higgs-strahlung processes p\bar p → WH/ZH+X have been calculated. Both types of corrections are of the order of 5-10%. In this article the various corrections are briefly discussed and combined into state-of-the-art predictions for the cross sections. The theoretical uncertainties from renormalization/factorization scales and from the parton distribution functions are discussed.
