Uprf-2002-06 Nlo Partonic Event Generators
نویسنده
چکیده
Merging the benefits of an NLO calculation with event generators is a topic of current interest. Among other things, it is advantageous to be able to generate unweighted events according to NLO matrix elements. I report on an algorithm which generates a sequence of unweighted momentum configurations, each configuration containing either n or n+1 four-vectors, such that for any infrared safe observable the average over these configurations coincides with the NLO calculation up to errors of a resolution variable.

Parton Distributions for LO Generators
We present a study of the results obtained combining LO partonic matrix elements with either LO or NLO partons distributions. These are compared to the best prediction using NLO for both matrix elements and parton distributions. The aim is to determine which parton distributions are most appropriate to use in those cases where only LO matrix elements are available, e.g. as in many Monte Carlo g...
متن کاملMatching between matrix elements and parton showers using a Leading-Log subtraction method in NLO-QCD
A new method to construct event-generators based on next-to-leading order QCDmatrixelements and leading-logarithmic parton showers is proposed. Matrix elements of loop diagrams as well as those of a tree level can be generated using an automatic system. A soft/collinear singularity is treated using a leading-log subtraction method. Higher order re-summation of the soft/collinear correction by t...
متن کاملEffective Predictions of Event Shapes: Factorized, Resummed, and Gapped Angularity Distributions
Using soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), which provides a unified framework for factorization, resummation of logarithms, and incorporation of universal nonperturbative functions in hard-scattering QCD cross-sections, we present a new prediction of angularity distributions in e+e− annihilation. Angularities τa are an infinite class of event shapes which vary in their sensitivity to the sub...
متن کاملQcd Tests through Hadronic Final-state Measurements *
Modern-day ‘testing’ of (perturbative) QCD is as much about pushing the boundaries of its applicability as about the verification that QCD is the correct theory of hadronic physics. This talk gives a brief discussion of a small selection of topics: factorisation and jets in diffraction, power corrections and event shapes, the apparent excess of b-production in a variety of experiments, and the ...
متن کاملSubtraction method for NLO corrections in Monte-Carlo event generators for leptoproduction
In the case of the gluon-fusion process in deep-inelastic leptoproduction, I explicitly show how to incorporate NLO corrections in a Monte-Carlo event generator by a subtraction method. I calculate the parton densities to be used by the event generator in terms of MS densities. The method is generalizable. A particular motivation for treating the gluon-fusion process is to treat diffractive dee...
