W+jets Matrix Elements and the Dipole Cascade
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend the algorithm for matching fixed-order tree-level matrix element generators with the Dipole Cascade Model in ARIADNE to apply to processes with incoming hadrons. We test the algoritm on for the process W+n jets at the Tevatron, and find that the results are fairly insensitive to the cutoff used to regularize the soft and collinear divergencies in the tree-level matrix elements. We also investigate a few observables to check the sensitivity to the matrix element correction.

Correcting the Colour-Dipole Cascade Model with Fixed Order Matrix Elements
An algorithm is presented in which the Colour-Dipole Cascade Model as implemented in the ARIADNE program is corrected to match the fixed order tree-level matrix elements for e+e− → n jets. The result is a full parton level generator for e+e− annihilation where the generated states are correct on tree-level to fixed order in αs and to all orders with modified leading logarithmic (MLLA) accuracy....
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...

Inclusive cross section measurements [1, 2], but also many hadronic final state cross sections [3, 4, 5] are in general well described in QCD. The cross sections are factorized into integrated parton density functions (PDFs) which are evolved from a starting scale μ0 to the factorization scale μf using the DGLAP [6,7, 8, 9] evolution equations and convoluted with the process dependent coefficie...
متن کاملMerging Parton Showers and Matrix Elements
This thesis considers models for describing high energy particle collisions. Existing phenomonological models are modified and new implementations made in order to achive a better description of states with several hard jets. To predict final state hadrons, parton showers are used together with pheonomenological hadronization models. These models describe a wide range of observables, but have t...

Electric-dipole matrix elements for 6p−nd, n = 5, 6, 7 transitions in cesium are calculated using a relativistic all-order method. The resulting matrix elements are used to evaluate 5d lifetimes and 6p polarizabilities. The data are compared with experimental lifetime and polarizability measurements made by different groups. Domination of the 6p scalar polarizabilities by 5d − 6p dipole matrix ...
