Description
We discuss about radiation from heavy
quarks in the context of next-to-leading order calculations
matched to parton shower generators. A new algorithm for
radiation from massive quarks is presented that offers
advantages over the one previously employed. We implement
the algorithm in the framework of the POWHEG-BOX,
and compare it with the previous one in the case of the hvq
generator for bottom production in hadronic collisions, and
in the case of the bb4l generator for top production and
decays.
