Combining Matrix Elements and Parton Showers at NLO
SPEAKER
Stefan Hoeche, SLAC
PLACE
Meeting Room 1, Kenkyu Honkan 1F
This talk discusses a new method to combine NLO QCD calculations at the parton level with the resummation encoded in parton showers. First applications are presented, including W-boson + multi-jet production at the LHC and top-quark pair production at the Tevatron.
