Contribution
It introduces the POWHEG-hvq generator, enabling combined NLO and shower simulation for heavy flavor production with easy interfacing.
Findings
Provides a detailed manual for using POWHEG-hvq.
Demonstrates compatibility with shower Monte Carlo programs.
Maintains NLO and shower accuracy in simulations.
Abstract
This note documents the use of the POWHEG-hvq package, a generator for heavy flavour hadroproduction at next-to-leading order in QCD, that can be easily interfaced to shower Monte Carlo programs, in such a way that NLO and shower accuracy are both maintained.
