Reweighting QCD matrix-element and parton-shower calculations
We present the implementation and validation of the techniques used to efficiently evaluate parametric and perturbative theoretical uncertainties in matrix-element plus parton-shower simulations within the Sherpa eventgenerator framework. By tracing the full αs and PDF dependences, including the parton-shower component, as well as the fixed-order scale uncertainties, we compute variational even...
متن کاملMatrix-Element Corrections to Parton Shower Algorithms
We discuss two ways in which parton shower algorithms can be supplemented by matrix-element corrections to ensure the correct hard limit: by using complementary phase-space regions, or by modifying the shower itself. In the former case, existing algorithms are self-consistent only if the total correction is small. In the latter case, existing algorithms are never self-consistent, a problem that...
متن کاملHard photon production and matrix-element parton-shower merging
We present a Monte Carlo approach to prompt-photon production, where photons and QCD partons are treated democratically. The photon fragmentation function is modeled by an interleaved QCD+QED parton shower. This known technique is improved by including higher-order real-emission matrix elements. To this end, we extend a recently proposed algorithm for merging matrix elements and truncated parto...
متن کاملA matrix-element-based modification of the parton shower
The transverse momentum distribution of W bosons at hadron colliders is well described by a parton-shower model for small p⊥ values, but not for large ones. This article is an attempt to give a better description of the distribution by using corrections derived from the matrix-element formalism. The parton shower for qq → W has been modified to resemble the matrix elements of qq → gW and qg → q...
