Description

The POWHEG method is widely used to match next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculations with standard parton shower programs. It is also possible to use the POWHEG method to match electroweak (EW) corrections with parton showers. We present how the POWHEG method can be extended to handle EW corrections, including photon radiation, and we use it to investigate the Drell-Yan process (pp → μ+μ-). Our implementation is compared to an existing implementation in the POWHEGBOX and to NLO calculations for QCD and EW corrections.
