Matching matrix elements and parton showers with HERWIG and PYTHIA
We report on our exploration of matching matrix element calculations with the parton-shower models contained in the event generators HERWIG and PYTHIA. We describe results for e+e− collisions and for the hadroproduction of W bosons and DrellYan pairs. We compare methods based on (1) a strict implementation of ideas proposed by Catani et al., (2) a generalization based on using the internal Suda...
متن کاملMatching parton showers to NLO computations
We give a prescription for attaching parton showers to next-to-leading order (NLO) partonic jet cross sections in electron-positron annihilation. Our method effectively extends to NLO the scheme of Catani, Krauss, Kuhn, and Webber for matching between m hard jets and (m+1) hard jets. The matching between parton splitting as part of a shower and parton splitting as part of NLO matrix elements is...
متن کاملMatching NLO QCD and Parton Showers in Heavy Flavour Production∗
We apply the MC@NLO approach to the process of heavy flavour hadroproduction. MC@NLO is a method for matching next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculations and parton shower Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, with the following features: fully exclusive events are generated, with hadronisation according to the MC model; total rates are accurate to NLO; NLO results for distributions are recovered upon...
متن کاملNLO parton showers and subtractive techniques
Motivated by asking how to combine parton showers with nonleading QCD matrix elements, we discuss a subtractive technique based on gauge-invariant Wilsonline operators and how this can be used to treat the soft region. For precision phenomenology at future high energy colliders, it will be valuable to construct Monte Carlo event generators in which next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD corrections ca...
متن کاملMatching between matrix elements and parton showers using a Leading-Log subtraction method in NLO-QCD
A new method to construct event-generators based on next-to-leading order QCDmatrixelements and leading-logarithmic parton showers is proposed. Matrix elements of loop diagrams as well as those of a tree level can be generated using an automatic system. A soft/collinear singularity is treated using a leading-log subtraction method. Higher order re-summation of the soft/collinear correction by t...
