Description
A study is performed for the autonomous computation for cross section at the next-to- leading order in QCD for the WWjj background. The WWjj process is described and simulated using MadGraph with aMC@NLO framework, particularly suited for its parallel computation in Standard Model as well as Beyond the Standard Model theories. Interfacing with PYTHIA8 and HERWIG++ in leading order and next- to-leading order allows for parton shower calculations. The study presents different distributions measured in our phase space characterized by the kinematic and energy behaviour of the process.
