Matching Parton Showers and Matrix Elements
We compare different procedures for combining fixed-order tree-level matrix element generators with parton showers. We use the case of W-production at the Tevatron and the LHC to compare different implementations of the socalled CKKW scheme and one based on the so-called MLM scheme using different matrix element generators and different parton cascades. We find that although similar results are...
متن کاملMatching matrix elements and parton showers with HERWIG and PYTHIA
We report on our exploration of matching matrix element calculations with the parton-shower models contained in the event generators HERWIG and PYTHIA. We describe results for e+e− collisions and for the hadroproduction of W bosons and DrellYan pairs. We compare methods based on (1) a strict implementation of ideas proposed by Catani et al., (2) a generalization based on using the internal Suda...

متن کاملQCD matrix elements + parton showers
We propose a method for combining QCD matrix elements and parton showers in Monte Carlo simulations of hadronic final states in ee annihilation. The matrix element and parton shower domains are separated at some value yini of the jet resolution, defined according to the kT -clustering algorithm. The matrix elements are modified by Sudakov form factors and the parton showers are subjected to a v...
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...
