Description
I will present a new method of including the complete NLO QCD corrections to hard processes in the LO parton-shower Monte Carlo. This method, called KrkNLO, requires the use of parton distribution functions in a dedicated Monte Carlo (MC) factorization scheme which I will also discussed. In the future, it may simplify introduction of the NNLO corrections to hard processes and the NLO corrections to parton-shower Monte Carlo. Finally, I will show some numerical examples of its practical implementation as well as comparisons with other calculations, such as MCFM, MC@NLO, POWHEG and DYNNLO for single Z/γ *-boson production at the LHC.
