We perform a detailed study of the sources of perturbative uncertainty in parton-shower predictions within the Herwig 7 event generator. We benchmark two rather different parton-shower algorithms, based on angular-ordered and dipole-type evolution, a...

Anomalous coupling, top-mass and parton-shower effects in W + W − production (2016)
Journal Article
Bellm, J., Gieseke, S., Greiner, N., Heinrich, G., Plätzer, S., Reuschle, C., & von Soden-Fraunhofen, J. (2016). Anomalous coupling, top-mass and parton-shower effects in W + W − production. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(5), Article 106. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep05%282016%29106

We calculate the process pp → W+W− → e+νeµ−¯ νµ at NLO QCD, including also effective field theory (EFT) operators mediating the ggW+W− interaction, which first occur at dimension eight. We further combine the NLO and EFT matrix elements produced by GoSa... Read More about Anomalous coupling, top-mass and parton-shower effects in W + W − production.
