NLO QCD predictions for $$Z+\gamma $$ Z+γ + jets production with Sherpa

Abstract We present precise predictions for prompt photon production in association with a Z boson and jets. They are obtained within the Sherpa framework as a consistently merged inclusive sample. Leptonic decays of the Z boson are fully included in the calculation with all off-shell effects. Virtu...
