Next-to-next-to-leading order event generation for Z-boson pair production matched to parton shower

We present a novel next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD calculation matched to parton shower for the production of a pair of Z bosons decaying to four massless leptons, pp→ℓ+ℓ−ℓ′+ℓ′−+X, at the LHC. Spin correlations, interferences and off-shell effects are included throughout. Our result is base...
