Precision calculations for H -> WW/ZZ -> 4fermions with PROPHECY4f

Abstract

PROPHECY4f is a Monte Carlo event generator for precise simulations of the Higgs-boson decay H -> WW/ZZ -> 4fermions, supporting leptonic, semileptonic, and four-quark final states. Both electroweak and QCD corrections are included. Treating the intermediate gauge bosons as resonances, the calculation covers the full Higgs-boson mass range above, near, and below the gauge-boson pair thresholds. In this article we pay particular attention to the recently implemented option of PROPHECY4f to generate unweighted events.
