abstract

We present a calculation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the hadroproduction process $gg\to ZZ \to e^+e^- \mu^+ \mu^-$, matched to the parton shower in the POWHEG framework. We take advantage of the POWHEG BOX tool for the implementation and rely on PYTHIA 8 for the showering and hadronization stages. We fully include $\gamma^*/Z$ interference effects, while also covering the single-resonant region. For this phenomenological study we focus on four lepton production as a signal process, neglecting all quark mass effects as well as the Higgs-mediated contributions, which are known to be subdominant in this case. We provide predictions from our simulations for the 13 TeV LHC Run II setup, including realistic experimental cuts.

  1. Precise Standard-Model predictions for polarised Z-boson pair production and decay at the LHC

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors deliver the first NNLO QCD plus NLO EW combination of predictions for polarised ZZ pairs at the LHC and validate them across five Monte Carlo codes and against ATLAS simulations.

  2. Theoretical modeling of QCD radiation in off-shell Higgs production through gluon fusion

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A controlled three-generator comparison shows that NLO+PS and LO jet merging differ by up to a factor of two in off-shell gg to H to ZZ to 4l predictions, with MadGraph underproducing sub-leading jets.

  3. Higgsstrahlung at NNLL$'+$NNLO Matched to Parton Showers in GENEVA

    hep-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    GENEVA now generates Higgsstrahlung events at NNLO accuracy matched with NNLL' beam-thrust resummation and parton showers, validated against Matrix for the 13 TeV LHC.
