We present numerical tests and predictions of the KrkNLO method for matchingof NLO QCD corrections to hard processes with LO parton shower Monte Carlogenerators (NLO+PS). This method was described in detail in our previouspublications, where it was also compared with other NLO+PS matching approaches(MC@NLO and POWHEG) as well as fixed-order NLO and NNLO calculations. Here weconcentrate on presenting some numerical results (cross sections anddistributions) for $Z/\gamma^*$ (Drell-Yan) and Higgs-boson productionprocesses at the LHC. The Drell--Yan process is used mainly to validate theKrkNLO implementation in the Herwig 7 program with respect to the previousimplementation in Sherpa. We also show predictions for this process with thenew, complete, MC-scheme parton distribution functions and compare them withour previously published results. Then, we present the first results of theKrkNLO method for Higgs production in gluon-gluon fusion at the LHC and comparethem with MC@NLO and POWHEG predictions from Herwig 7 fixed-order results fromHNNLO and a resummed calculation from HqT, as well as with experimental datafrom the ATLAS collaboration.
