A general framework for implementing NLO calculations in shower Monte Carlo programs: the POWHEG BOX
Tool reference. 70% of classified Pith citations use this work as a method, library, or software dependency, not as a substantive claim.
abstract
In this work we illustrate the POWHEG BOX, a general computer code framework for implementing NLO calculations in shower Monte Carlo programs according to the POWHEG method. Aim of this work is to provide an illustration of the needed theoretical ingredients, a view of how the code is organized and a description of what a user should provide in order to use it.
