Latest developments in the simulation of final states involving top-pair and heavy bosons

Abstract

I give an overview of recent progress in the simulation of final states involving top-quarks and vector bosons pair. First I'll discuss the recently found solutions needed to simulate fully differential top pair production (ppbbˉpp\to b\bar{b} + 4 leptons) at NLO+PS accuracy, retaining off-shellness and interference effects exactly. In the second part, I'll review the MiNLO (Multi-scale Improved NLO) method, and then show a recent application, namely the simultaneous NLO+PS description of W+WW^+W^- and W+W+W^+W^- + 1 jet production.
