Abstract: We present results for the QCD production of Z/{\gamma} + 2 jets matched with parton showers using the POWHEG method. Some technicalities relevant for the merging of NLO corrections for this process with parton showers are discussed, and results for typical distributions are shown, in presence of different sets of cuts. A comparison with ATLAS data is also presented, and good agreement is found.<br />Comment: 13+1 pages, 6 figures, 1 reference and 1 appendix added; matches version accepted for publication in JHEP
