Torrielli, Paolo; Frixione, Stefano Matching NLO QCD computations with PYTHIA using MC@NLO. (English) Zbl 1272.81198 J. High Energy Phys. 2010, No. 4, Paper No. 110, 19 p. (2010). Summary: We present the matching between a next-to-leading order computation in QCD and the PYTHIA parton shower Monte Carlo, according to the MC@NLO formalism. We study the case of initial-state radiation, and consider in particular single vector boson hadroproduction.
