Four-lepton production in gluon fusion at NLO matched to parton showers

Abstract We present a calculation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to gluon-induced electroweak gauge boson pair production, $$gg \rightarrow ZZ$$ g g → Z Z and $$gg \rightarrow W^+W^-$$ g g → W + W - , matched to the PYTHIA 8  parton shower in the POWHEG approach. The calculation...
