Resummed event shapes at hadron-hadron colliders
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article introduces definitions for a number of new event shapes and jet-rates in hadron-hadron dijet production. They are designed so as to be measurable in practice at the Tevatron and the LHC, and to be global so that they can be resummed with currently available techniques. We explain how to vary their sensitivity to beam fragmentation, limiting its impact for purely perturbative studies, or deliberately enhancing it so as to focus on non-perturbative effects. Explicit nextto-leading logarithmic resummed results are presented, as obtained with caesar.

Vector Boson Production at Hadron Colliders: Results from HERWIG and Resummed Calculations
We discuss vector boson production at hadron colliders and the treatment of the initial-state radiation according to Monte Carlo parton shower simulations and resummed calculations. In particular, we investigate the effect of matrix-element corrections to the HERWIG event generator on W/Z transverse momentum distributions.
متن کاملThreshold Hadronic Event Shapes with Eective Field Theory
Hadronic event shapes, that is, event shapes at hadron colliders, could provide a great way to test both standard and non-standard theoretical models. However, they are significantly more complicated than event shapes at e+e− colliders, involving multiple hard directions, multiple channels and multiple color structures. In this paper, hadronic event shapes are examined with Soft-Collinear Effec...
متن کاملFRIF Workshop on First Principles Non-Perturbative QCD of Hadron Jets Motivations and ideas behind hadron–hadron event shapes
Event shapes describe the energy and momentum flow of the final state in high energy collisions. Thanks to the synergy of their simplicity and sensitivity to properties of QCD radiation, they are among the most extensively studied observables in e+e− and DIS collisions. Specifically, studies of event shapes were used for measurements of the strong coupling constant αs and of its renormalization...
متن کاملInitial State Radiation in Simulations of Vector Boson Production at Hadron Colliders
The production of vector bosons at present and future hadron colliders will provide a crucial test for QCD and Standard Model physics. In this paper we improve parton shower simulations of Drell–Yan processes by implementing matrix-element corrections to the initial-state radiation. We apply our work to the HERWIG Monte Carlo event generator and compare our phenomenological results with the one...
متن کاملEvent shapes at hadron colliders
We present precision results for distributions in global event shapes that can be measured at hadron colliders within experimental limitations. These predictions are obtained by combining exact next-to-leading order (NLO) with the all-order resummation of large logarithms of soft and collinear origin. We then discuss how event-shape measurements can be used for the tuning of Monte Carlo event g...
