Resonance- and width-aware parton shower evolution and NLO matching

A bstract We introduce a technique for the next-to-leading order accurate simulation of $${e}^{+}{e}^{-}\to {W}^{+}{W}^{-}b\overline{b }$$ that respects the resonant nature of the process above and near the top-quark pair production threshold. The parton-shower evolution, infrare...
