Top Quark Mass Calibration for Monte Carlo Event Generators.
The most precise top quark mass measurements use kinematic reconstruction methods, determining the top mass parameter of a Monte Carlo event generator m_{t}^{MC}. Because of hadronization and parton-shower dynamics, relating m_{t}^{MC} to a field theory mass is difficult. We present a calibration procedure to determine this relation using hadron level QCD predictions for observables with kinema...
متن کاملCalibration of the Top-Quark Monte Carlo Mass.
We present a method to establish, experimentally, the relation between the top-quark mass m_{t}^{MC} as implemented in Monte Carlo generators and the Lagrangian mass parameter m_{t} in a theoretically well-defined renormalization scheme. We propose a simultaneous fit of m_{t}^{MC} and an observable sensitive to m_{t}, which does not rely on any prior assumptions about the relation between m_{t}...
متن کاملQCD and Monte Carlo event generators
Shower Monte Carlo event generators have played an important role in particle physics. Modern experiments would hardly be possible without them. In this talk I discuss how QCD physics is incorporated into the mathematical structure of these programs and I outline recent developments including matching between events with different numbers of hard jets and the inclusion of nextto-leading order e...
متن کاملStatus of Monte-Carlo event generators
Particle physics phenomenology has entered a new era with the recent discovery of an elementary boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In the following years, it will be important to measure the precise properties of the new particle in order to determine whether it is related to the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model. Meanwhile, searches for signals of new physics will continu...
