Matching NLO QCD Computations and Parton Shower Simulations
We propose a method for matching the next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation of a given QCD process with a parton shower Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. The method has the following features: fully exclusive events are generated, with hadronization according to the MC model; total exclusive rates are accurate to NLO; NLO results for distributions are recovered upon expansion in αs; hard emissions ...
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...
متن کاملMatching NLO QCD Corrections in WHIZARD with the POWHEG scheme
Building on the new automatic subtraction of NLO amplitudes in WHIZARD, we present our implementation of the POWHEG scheme to match radiative corrections consistently with the par-ton shower. We apply this general framework to two linear collider processes, e + e − → t ¯ t and e + e − → t ¯ tH.
متن کاملA study of a NLO matrix element generator for Wγ and matching scheme for NLO events and Pythia
We present here a study of event generators for the hadronic production of Wγ . We compare a NLO Wγ matrix element generator with the leading order calculation in Pythia . A matching scheme between a next-to-leading order Wγ matrix element generator by Baur et. al. and the Pythia parton shower is presented. The NLO package produces Wγ +0 jet and Wγ +1jet final states in the hard scattering and ...
متن کاملToying with QCD at NLO
We take a look at the program from FMNR [1] which provides next-toleading-order calculations of the fully exclusive partonic cross section for the photoproduction of charm quarks. The program can be used to study various quantities of interest in our experiment, some of which do not require acceptance corrections. We look at the inclusive pt distribution and some correlations. Fragmentation e e...
