Resonace-improved parton-shower matching for the Drell-Yan process including electroweak corrections

Abstract We use the Powheg method to perform parton-shower matching for Drell-Yan production of W and Z bosons at the LHC at NLO QCD and NLO electroweak accuracy. In particular, we investigate an improved treatment of the vector-boson resonances within the Powheg method. We employ an independent imp...
