- 13 September 2007
The aim of this work is to describe in detail the POWHEG method, first suggested by one of the authors, for interfacing parton-shower generators with NLO QCD computations. We describe the method in…
A general framework for implementing NLO calculations in shower Monte Carlo programs: the POWHEG BOX
The POWHEG BOX is illustrated to provide an illustration of the needed theoretical ingredients, a view of how the code is organized and a description of what a user should provide in order to use it.

This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics. Using data from previous editions, plus 2658 new measurements from 644 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge…
Matching NLO QCD and parton showers in heavy flavour production
- S. Frixione, P. Nason, B. Webber
- Physics
- 22 May 2003
We apply the MC@NLO approach to the process of heavy flavour hadroproduction. MC@NLO is a method for matching next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculations and parton shower Monte Carlo (MC)…
Theoretical predictions for charm and bottom production at the LHC

- Physics
- 29 May 2012
A bstractWe present predictions for a variety of single-inclusive observables that stem from the production of charm and bottom quark pairs at the 7 TeV LHC. They are obtained within the FONLL…
A Positive-weight next-to-leading-order Monte Carlo for heavy flavour hadroproduction
- S. Frixione, P. Nason, G. Ridolfi
- Physics
- 20 July 2007
We present a next-to-leading order calculation of heavy flavour production in hadronic collisions that can be interfaced to shower Monte Carlo programs. The calculation is performed in the context of…

This Report summarizes the results of the activities in 2012 and the first half of 2013 of the LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group. The main goal of the working group was to present the state of…
NLO vector-boson production matched with shower in POWHEG
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/γ interference and angular…
NLO single-top production matched with shower in POWHEG: s- and t-channel contributions
We present a next-to-leading order calculation of single-top production interfaced to Shower Monte Carlo programs, implemented according to the POWHEG method. A detailed comparison with MC@NLO and…
