The POWHEG method allows interfacing parton-shower generators with NLO QCD computations in its full generality, and specifies its features in the Catani-Seymour and Frixione-Kunszt-Signer subtraction frameworks, with detailed examples for e+e- hadron production and Drell-Yan vector-boson production.
The method assumes that modifying the parton shower to begin from the hardest emission determined by the NLO calculation preserves accuracy and avoids inconsistencies across different subtraction schemes and processes.
The POWHEG method provides a general framework to interface NLO QCD computations with parton showers using Catani-Seymour and Frixione-Kunszt-Signer subtraction schemes, illustrated with e+e- hadron production and Drell-Yan processes.
