NNLOPS accurate associated HZ production with H → b b ¯ $$ H\to b\overline{b} $$ decay at NLO

Abstract We present a next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) accurate description of associated HZ production, followed by the Higgs boson decay into a pair of b-quarks treated at next-to-leading order (NLO), consistently matched to a parton shower (PS). The matching is achieved by performing reweight...
