Description
Run-II of the LHC is probing the Standard Model of particle physics at
unprecedented energies and precision. At such large energy scales
higher-order electroweak (EW) corrections are strongly enhanced due to
the presence of large Sudakov logarithms. In my talk I will present a
fully automated implementation of next-to-leading order (NLO) EW
corrections in the OpenLoops matrix-element generator combined with the
Sherpa and Munich Monte Carlo frameworks. The process-independent
character of the implemented algorithms opens the door to NLO QCD+EW
simulations for a vast range of Standard Model processes, up to high
particle multiplicity. As a first application, I will present NLO QCD+EW
predictions for vector boson production in association with up to three
jets.
