Description
We present a status report on recent developments in the WHIZARD event generator, an efficient and widely used tool for the simulation of exclusive and inclusive multi-particle processes at lepton colliders. In particular, we review progress in NLO calculations within the Standard Model and beyond, and new developments within the framework of collinear factorization, the Equivalent Vector Boson Approximation and electroweak parton distribution functions. Finally, we outline ongoing work and future plans, such as improvements in exclusive studies of top-quark pair production at the threshold.
