Single-top Wt-channel production matched with parton showers using the POWHEG method
arXiv:1009.2450 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-011-1547-z
Abstract
We present results for the next-to-leading order calculation of single-top Wt-channel production interfaced to Shower Monte Carlo programs, implemented according to the POWHEG method. A comparison with MC@NLO is carried out. Results obtained using the PYTHIA shower are also shown and the effect of typical cuts is briefly discussed.
