Monte Carlo generators for hadron physics: updates on PHOKHARA and EKHARA generators

Les Houches Guidebook to Monte Carlo Generators for Hadron Collider Physics

Recently the collider physics community has seen significant advances in the formalisms and implementations of event generators. This review is a primer of the methods commonly used for the simulation of high energy physics events at particle colliders. We provide brief descriptions, references, and links to the specific computer codes which implement the methods. The aim is to provide an overv...

Monte Carlo Generators

The structure of events in high-energy collisions is complex and not predictable from first principles. Event generators allow the problem to be subdivided into more manageable pieces, some of which can be described from first principles, while others need to be based on appropriate models with parameters tuned to data. In these lectures we provide an overview, discuss how matrix elements are u...

QCD and Monte Carlo generators

where dΓ ({p}m) is the phase space integral measure,M({p}m) represents the m-paraton tree level matrix element and FJ({p}m) is the jet measurement function that defines the physical observable. This calculation is relatively simple. The integral free from the infrared and ultraviolet singularities. The matrix element is basically a complicated expression but it can be generated in a automated w...

QCD and Monte Carlo event generators

Shower Monte Carlo event generators have played an important role in particle physics. Modern experiments would hardly be possible without them. In this talk I discuss how QCD physics is incorporated into the mathematical structure of these programs and I outline recent developments including matching between events with different numbers of hard jets and the inclusion of nextto-leading order e...
