Abstract
We present predictions for Higgs boson pair production at next-to-leading order in QCD matched to the PYTHIA parton shower retaining the full dependence on the top-quark mass. The contribution of the virtual amplitude, which is only known numerically, is interfaced to both the POWHEG-BOX and MADGRAPH5_AMC@NLO frameworks via a grid. We compare the results obtained in both frameworks and we discuss the effect of the top-quark mass on the level of differential cross sections.
