abstract
We introduce a new technique, that we dub Born spreading, aimed at reducing the number of negative-weight $\mathbb S$ events in the MC@NLO matching of NLO calculations with parton-shower simulations. We show that such a technique, based on a re-distribution of Born matrix elements in the radiative phase space, achieves a sizeable reduction of negative-weight events at little computational cost. The method does not induce any biases in physical distributions.

Resonance-aware parton-shower matching for off-shell top-antitop production with semi-leptonic decays at electron-positron colliders
A resonance-aware MC@NLO matching procedure preserves top-antitop line shapes when NLO QCD predictions for off-shell ttbar production at e+e− colliders are showered with Pythia8.
