Description

The unprecedented accuracy achieved by experimental measurements at the LHC opens up the possibility to explore rare signatures and places greater demands on the theory community to refine predictions for collider events. In this context, a crucial ingredient is to have full control over next-to-leading-order (NLO) electroweak corrections and off-shell effects. In this talk, I will present MoCaNLO, a Monte Carlo integrator that is particularly efficient in calculating general NLO corrections and handling processes with intricate resonance structures and non-trivial final states. Specifically, I will highlight the strengths of the code and review some of the milestone results achieved by MoCaNLO to date.
