Matrix-Element Corrections to Parton Shower Simulations for Higgs Hadroproduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We implement matrix-element corrections to HERWIG parton shower simulations for Standard Model Higgs boson production at hadron colliders. We study the Higgs transverse momentum distribution and compare different versions of HERWIG and resummed calculations. The HERWIG results exhibit a remarkable improvement as many more events are generated at large transverse momentum after the inclusion of matrix-element corrections.

We describe the HERWIG implementation of real matrix-element corrections to direct Higgs hadroproduction at Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and compare it to other approaches existing in literature and describing the transverse momentum distribution of the Higgs boson. In order to investigate Higgs boson production via gg → Higgs (see Ref. [1]), one needs to account for multi-parton ra...
متن کاملA study on Matrix Element corrections in inclusive Z/γ production at LHC as implemented in PYTHIA, HERWIG, AlpGen and SHERPA
We study Matrix Element corrections as implemented in four popular event generators for hadron collisions. We compare PYTHIA, HERWIG, AlpGen and SHERPA in the Z/γ inclusive production at LHC. PYTHIA and HERWIG are able to correct the first emission from the shower taking the Matrix Element calculation for one additional parton into account. SHERPA and AlpGen are able to take into account Matrix...

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...
