Three-jet DIS final states from k⊥-dependent parton showers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental measurements of angular correlations in three-jet final states have recently been performed in DIS. Next-to-leading-order QCD results for these observables are affected by large theoretical uncertainties in the kinematic region of the data. We discuss the effects of multiple QCD radiation at higher order using parton-shower methods based on transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions and matrix elements. We present Monte-Carlo results for azimuthal two-jet and three-jet distributions, and discuss the comparison with experimental data.

Angular correlations in multi-jet final states from k⊥-dependent parton showers
We investigate parton-branching methods based on transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions and matrix elements for the Monte Carlo simulation of multi-particle final states at high-energy colliders. We observe that recently measured angular correlations in ep final states with multiple hadronic jets probe QCD coherence effects in the space-like branching, associated with finite-a...
متن کاملJet correlations from unintegrated parton distributions
Transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions can be introduced gaugeinvariantly in QCD from high-energy factorization. We discuss Monte Carlo applications of these distributions to parton showers and jet physics, with a view to the implications for the Monte Carlo description of complex hadronic final states with multiple hard scales at the LHC.

We study the impact of transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions on detailed features of multi-jet final states, focusing on angular jet correlations in DIS data. Monte-Carlo simulations of events containing multiple jets are central to a number of processes of interest at LHC energies, see e.g. [1], and further references in [2]. These complex events, characterized by multiple hard sc...
متن کاملJet physics and initial-state QCD parton showers
We discuss methods of parton branching to treat corrections to QCD showers beyond the collinear ordering approximation in hadronic collisions at high energies. We illustrate the role of finite-angle gluon radiation for angular and momentum correlations in multi-jet final states, and describe applications to forward jets at the LHC.
متن کاملCombining Qcd Matrix Elements and Parton Showers
A new method for combining QCD matrix elements and parton showers in Monte Carlo simulations of hadronic final states is outlined. The aim is to provide at least a leading-order description of all hard multi-jet configurations together with jet fragmentation to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, while avoiding the most serious problems of double counting.
