Description

In view of the increasing level of precision of current and future experimental measurements, matching NNLO QCD and NLO EW corrections represents a crucial step for LHC phenomenology. Furthermore, complementing fixed-order perturbative computations with parton-shower effects is indispensable for a realistic description of LHC processes. In this talk we present the computation of WZ production at NNLO QCD and NLO EW consistently matched to parton showers using the MiNNLOPS method. We investigate different combination schemes based on an a-posteriori recombination of QCD and EW contributions, showing that the inclusion of EW effects gives sizable effects. We also comment on the possibility of extending the MiNNLOPS method towards the inclusion of NLO EW corrections avoiding an a-posteriori reweighting of simulated events.
