Weak boson production via vector-boson fusion @ NLO matched with Powheg — Carlo Oleari1, •Franziska Schissler2, and Dieter Zeppenfeld2 — 1Universita’ di Milano-Bicocca, Dipartimento di Fisica "G. Occhialini" — 2KIT, Institut für Theoretische Physik
The production of weak vector-bosons in association with two jets is an important background to Higgs-boson searches in vector-boson fusion (VBF) at the LHC. In order to make reliable predicitons, the combination of fixed-order NLO-calculations and parton-showers is indispensable. We present the implementation of the weak boson production via VBF in the Powheg-Box. This is a first step to interface Vbfnlo, a fully flexible Monte Carlo program, with the Powheg-Box.
