NLO vector-boson production matched with shower in POWHEG

Alioli, Simone, Nason, Paolo, Oleari, Carlo et al.

Understand

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.
