Hard photon production and matrix-element parton-shower merging
We present a Monte Carlo approach to prompt-photon production, where photons and QCD partons are treated democratically. The photon fragmentation function is modeled by an interleaved QCD+QED parton shower. This known technique is improved by including higher-order real-emission matrix elements. To this end, we extend a recently proposed algorithm for merging matrix elements and truncated parto...
متن کاملMatrix-Element Corrections to Parton Shower Algorithms
We discuss two ways in which parton shower algorithms can be supplemented by matrix-element corrections to ensure the correct hard limit: by using complementary phase-space regions, or by modifying the shower itself. In the former case, existing algorithms are self-consistent only if the total correction is small. In the latter case, existing algorithms are never self-consistent, a problem that...
متن کاملInclusive Parton Cross Sections in Photoproduction and Photon Structure
Photoproduction of 2-jet events is studied with the H1 detector at HERA. Parton cross sections are extracted from the data by an unfolding method using leading order parton-jet correlations of a QCD generator. The gluon distribution in the photon is derived in the fractional momentum range 0:04 x 1 at the average factorization scale 75 GeV 2. H1 Collaboration
متن کاملA matrix-element-based modification of the parton shower
The transverse momentum distribution of W bosons at hadron colliders is well described by a parton-shower model for small p⊥ values, but not for large ones. This article is an attempt to give a better description of the distribution by using corrections derived from the matrix-element formalism. The parton shower for qq → W has been modified to resemble the matrix elements of qq → gW and qg → q...
