New formalism for QCD parton showers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new formalism for parton shower simulation of QCD jets, which incorporates the following features: invariance under boosts along jet axes, improved treatment of heavy quark fragmentation, angular-ordered evolution with soft gluon coherence, more accurate soft gluon angular distributions, and better coverage of phase space. It is implemented in the new HERWIG++ event generator.

NLO QCD matrix elements + parton showers in e+e−→ hadrons
We present a new approach to combine multiple NLO parton-level calculations matched to parton showers into a single inclusive event sample. The method provides a description of hard multi-jet configurations at next-to leading order in the perturbative expansion of QCD, and it is supplemented with the all-orders resummed modelling of jet fragmentation provided by the parton shower. The formal ac...

I review the status of perturbative QCD calculations for jet production in eP -scattering at HERA. I will discuss possibilities of combining fixed order, especially higher order, calculations and parton showers. ¶ Invited talk at the Ringberg Workshop New Trends in HERA Physics 2001, Ringberg Castle, Tegernsee, Germany, 17–22 June 2001 Jet Production at HERA Björn Pötter§ Max-Planck-Institut fü...
متن کاملCombining Qcd Matrix Elements and Parton Showers
A new method for combining QCD matrix elements and parton showers in Monte Carlo simulations of hadronic final states is outlined. The aim is to provide at least a leading-order description of all hard multi-jet configurations together with jet fragmentation to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, while avoiding the most serious problems of double counting.
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...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium Qcd of High-energy Multi-gluon Dynamics A
I discuss an approach to derive from first principles, a real-time formalism to study the dynamical interplay of quantum and statistical-kinetic properties of non-equilibrium multi-parton systems produced in high-energy QCD processes. The ultimate goal (from which one is still far away) is to have a practically applicable description of the space-time evolution of a general initial system of gl...
