Description
I will review the GENEVA event generator, combining the NNLL resumption of the jet resolution parameter with up to NNLO matrix elements, to give an accurate and coherent description at both small and large jet resolution scales. NNLO results for Drell-Yan production will be presented, obtained using N-jettiness as the jet resolution variable and relying on PYTHIA8 for the final showering and hadronization.
