Abstract
The merging procedure of tree-level matrix elements with the subsequent parton shower as implemented in SHERPA will be studied for the example of boson pair production at the Fermilab Tevatron. Comparisons with fixed order calculations at leading and next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant and with other Monte Carlo simulations validate once more the impact and the quality of the merging algorithm and its implementation.
