Parton Showers beyond the Leading Order: a Factorization Approach *
We discuss recent work on methods for incorporating nonleading QCD corrections in parton shower algorithms. Parton shower Monte Carlo event generators are the main practical tool to describe multi-particle final states in high energy collisions. These event generators couple a leading-order (LO) hard scattering to a showering, treated basically in the leading logarithm approximation. Many nonle...
متن کاملJet physics and initial-state QCD parton showers
We discuss methods of parton branching to treat corrections to QCD showers beyond the collinear ordering approximation in hadronic collisions at high energies. We illustrate the role of finite-angle gluon radiation for angular and momentum correlations in multi-jet final states, and describe applications to forward jets at the LHC.
متن کاملDijet azimuthal distributions and initial-state parton showers
Events with multiple hadronic jets are central to many aspects of the LHC physics program and their analysis will require realistic Monte Carlo simulations. See e.g. [2]. In a multi-jet event the correlation in the azimuthal angle ∆φ, defined to be between the two hardest jets, provides a useful measurement, sensitive to how well QCD multiple-radiation effects are described, and has been used t...
متن کاملParton showers with quantum interference: leading color, with spin
We have previously described a mathematical formulation for a parton shower based on the approximation of strongly ordered virtualities of successive parton splittings. Quantum interference, including interference among different color and spin states, was included. A practical numerical implementation strategy was left unspecified. In a subsequent paper, we showed that if we add the further ap...
متن کاملQCD next-to-leading-order predictions matched to parton showers for vector-like quark models
Vector-like quarks are featured by a wealth of beyond the Standard Model theories and are consequently an important goal of many LHC searches for new physics. Those searches, as well as most related phenomenological studies, however, rely on predictions evaluated at the leading-order accuracy in QCD and consider well-defined simplified benchmark scenarios. Adopting an effective bottom-up approa...
