Matrix element corrections in the Pythia8 parton shower in the context of matched simulations at next-to-leading order
Abstract We discuss the role of matrix element corrections (MEC) to parton showers in the context of MC@NLO-type matchings for processes that feature unstable resonances, where MEC are liable to result in double-counting issues, and are thus generally not employed. By working with Pythia8, we show t...
