Tuning Monte Carlo generators: The Perugia tunes
We present 9 new tunes of the p?-ordered shower and underlying-event model in PYTHIA 6.4. These ‘‘Perugia’’ tunes update and supersede the older ‘‘S0’’ family. The data sets used to constrain the models include hadronic Z decays at LEP, Tevatron min-bias data at 630, 1800, and 1960 GeV, Tevatron DrellYan data at 1800 and 1960 GeV, and SPS min-bias data at 200, 546, and 900 GeV. In addition to t...
متن کاملMonte 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...
متن کاملQCD 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...
متن کاملQCD 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...
متن کاملTuning the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm.
We apply the Hybrid Monte Carlo Algorithm to pure gauge QCD and to QCD with 4 flavors of staggered dynamical fermions. We show how the acceptance in the global Metropolis step depends upon the parameters of the algorithm. By tuning the values of the coupling constants in the algorithm to be different from those in the global Metropolis step, we find that the acceptance can be kept large without...
