Description
Measurements of electroweak interactions at the LHC require precision that can be reached only by highest-order perturbative computations. In this talk, I will review a variety of state-of-the-art predictions, focusing on vector-boson pair production processes. This involves higher-order corrections in both QCD and EW perturbation theory on the one hand, but also their combination with all-order logarithmic contributions on the other hand. In particular, I will discuss a novel approach to obtain parton-shower predictions with NNLO QCD accuracy.
