The automated computation of tree-level and next-to-leading order differential cross sections, and their matching to parton shower simulations

Johan Alwall, +10 more
- 01 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: MadGraph5 aMC@NLO as discussed by the authors is a computer program capable of handling all these computations, including parton-level fixed order, shower-matched, merged, in a unified framework whose defining features are flexibility, high level of parallelisation and human intervention limited to input physics quantities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matching NLO QCD computations with Parton Shower simulations: the POWHEG method

Stefano Frixione, +2 more
- 23 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the POWHEG method for interfacing parton-shower generators with NLO QCD computations is described in its full generality, and features in two subtraction frameworks for NLO calculations: the Catani-Seymour and the Frixione-Kunszt-Signer approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matching NLO QCD computations and parton shower simulations

Stefano Frixione, +1 more
- 01 Jun 2002 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for matching the next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation of a given QCD process with a parton shower Monte Carlo (MC) simulation.

A Positive-weight next-to-leading-order Monte Carlo for heavy flavour hadroproduction

Stefano Frixione, +2 more
- 28 Sep 2007 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a next-to-leading order calculation of heavy flavour production in hadronic collisions that can be interfaced to shower Monte Carlo programs is performed in the context of the POWHEG method.
