A new BLHA interface between VBFNLO 3.0 and Herwig 7.3 enables NLO+PS matching for all di-boson and tri-boson leptonic processes, and a study of the W+W-γ process finds that generation-level cuts can shift predictions by up to 10%.

abstract
We present the implementation of a new interface in VBFNLO 3.0 supporting all di-boson and tri-boson processes with fully leptonic final states, enabling NLO+PS matched calculations. To demonstrate its capabilities, we study parton shower effects in the tri-boson production process $p p \rightarrow e^{+} \nu_e \mu^{-} \bar{\nu}_{\mu} \gamma + X$ using Herwig 7.3 with NLO QCD amplitudes from VBFNLO 3.0. We estimate uncertainties from scale variations and analyze the impact of generation-level cuts on parton shower events. This study showcases the new interface's potential and provides insights into the interplay between fixed-order calculations and parton shower effects in multi-boson production processes, crucial for precision measurements and BSM searches at the LHC and future colliders.
