  We present numerical tests and predictions of the KrkNLO method for matching
of NLO QCD corrections to hard processes with LO parton shower Monte Carlo
generators (NLO+PS). This method was described in detail in our previous
publications, 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 we
concentrate on presenting some numerical results (cross sections and
distributions) for $Z/\gamma^*$ (Drell-Yan) and Higgs-boson production
processes at the LHC. The Drell--Yan process is used mainly to validate the
KrkNLO implementation in the Herwig 7 program with respect to the previous
implementation in Sherpa. We also show predictions for this process with the
new, complete, MC-scheme parton distribution functions and compare them with
our previously published results. Then, we present the first results of the
KrkNLO method for Higgs production in gluon-gluon fusion at the LHC and compare
them with MC@NLO and POWHEG predictions from Herwig 7 fixed-order results from
HNNLO and a resummed calculation from HqT, as well as with experimental data
from the ATLAS collaboration.
