Single-top Wt-channel production matched with parton showers using the POWHEG method
Emanuele Re
TL;DR
This paper introduces a next-to-leading order calculation for single-top Wt-channel production using the POWHEG method, compares it with MC@NLO, and discusses effects of cuts and shower programs like PYTHIA.
Contribution
It implements the NLO calculation of Wt-channel production with POWHEG and compares it to MC@NLO and PYTHIA, providing a new tool for accurate simulations.
Findings
POWHEG implementation matches well with MC@NLO.
Differences observed between POWHEG and PYTHIA showers.
Effects of typical analysis cuts are analyzed.
Abstract
We present results for the next-to-leading order calculation of single-top Wt-channel production interfaced to Shower Monte Carlo programs, implemented according to the POWHEG method. A comparison with MC@NLO is carried out. Results obtained using the PYTHIA shower are also shown and the effect of typical cuts is briefly discussed.
