NLO vector-boson production matched with shower in POWHEG
arXiv:0805.4802 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2008/07/060
Abstract
We present a next-to-leading-order calculation of W/Z production interfaced to shower Monte Carlo, implemented according to the POWHEG method. Finite width effects, Z/gamma interference and angular correlations of decay products are included. A detailed comparison with MC@NLO and PYTHIA is carried out.
