NLO Corrections to Hard Process in Parton Shower MC - KrkNLO Method

A new method of combining an NLO-corrected hard process with an LO parton shower Monte Carlo, nicknamed {\sf KrkNLO}, was proposed recently. It is simpler than well-established two other methods: {\sf MC@NLO} and {\sf POWHEG}. In this contribution, we present some results of extensive numerical test...

Sumario:A new method of combining an NLO-corrected hard process with an LO parton shower Monte Carlo, nicknamed {\sf KrkNLO}, was proposed recently. It is simpler than well-established two other methods: {\sf MC@NLO} and {\sf POWHEG}. In this contribution, we present some results of extensive numerical tests of the new method for single $Z$-boson production at hadron colliders and numerical comparisons with two other methods as well as with NNLO calculations.
