Aspects of merging fixed order matrix elements to parton showers — •Johannes Bellm¹, Stefan Gieseke¹, and Simon Plätzer² — ¹ITP/KIT , Karlsruhe, Germany — ²IPPP, Durham, UK

With the interfaces to several matrix element generators and one loop providers such as GoSam, MadGraph and OpenLoops an automatized matching and merging of matrix elements to parton showers will be possible. In the talk I will show recent progress of merging in Herwig++. The choice of scales and pdfs will be discussed. Also the inclusion of QCD corrections and comparisons to LEP and LHC data will be shown.
