Merging WW and WW+jet with MiNLO
2016
We present a simulation program for the production of a pair of W bosons in
association with a jet, that can be used in conjunction with general-purpose
shower Monte Carlo generators, according to the POWHEG method. We have further
adapted and implemented the MINLO' method on top of the NLO calculation
underlying our WW+jet generator. Thus, the resulting simulation achieves NLO
accuracy not only for inclusive distributions in WW+jet production but also WW
production, i.e. when the associated jet is not resolved, without the
introduction of any unphysical merging scale. This work represents the first
extension of the MINLO' method, in its original form, to the case of a genuine
underlying 2->2 process, with non-trivial virtual corrections.
