Description

In this talk we introduce a newly developed scheme based on an extension of the 5F flavour scheme, which treats $b$ quarks as massless partons, to include full heavy quark mass dependency. We name this extension five-flavour massive scheme. We implement this scheme at MC@NLO accuracy in Sherpa. We present some results, obtained in this scheme, for $b$ quarks produced in association with a vector boson or a Higgs boson.
