Description
We extend and improve a previous calculation of electroweak top-pair
production at the LHC via Z' bosons to NLO QCD in POWHEG. In particular,
we add the effects of t-channel W and W' exchange and allow for
flavour--non-diagonal Z' and W' couplings. The calculation is matched to
parton showers in the POWHEG BOX framework. As an application, we
present numerical results for a model with flavor--non-diagonal
couplings which has been proposed to explain the anomalies in B decays.
