Description

Precise predictions for the production of SUSY-particles at the LHC in the framework of the MSSM make the combination of fixed-order NLO-calculations and parton-showers indispensable. The POWHEG-method is one of several existing possibilities to avoid in this step of the simulation the occurrence of the so called double-counting problem. I present the implementation of qq-production into the existing program POWHEG-BOX, which provides the process-independent steps of this method automatically.
