1307.0774 (Simon Plätzer)

Inclusive Cross Sections in ME+PS Merging    [PDF]

Simon Plätzer
We discuss an extension of matrix element plus parton shower merging at leading and next-to-leading order. The algorithm does preserve inclusive cross sections at the respective input order. This constraint avoids potentially large logarithmic contributions, which would require approximate (N)NLO contributions to cancel against.
