Parton Shower Matching Systematics in Vector-Boson-Fusion WW Production

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-05-24 v1

Abstract

We perform a detailed analysis of next-to-leading order plus parton-shower matching in vector-boson-fusion WW production including leptonic decays. The study is performed in the Herwig 7 framework interfaced to VBFNLO 3, using the angular-ordered and dipole-based parton-shower algorithms combined with the subtractive and multiplicative matching algorithms.
