NLO event samples for the LHC

چکیده

We introduce a twiki page with collections of generated Monte Carlo event samples in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies including a heavy quark-antiquark pair in the final state. These samples are generated with the POWHEG method and can be used to prepare distributions at the NLO accuracy with first radiation treated according to the parton shower approach. Information related to each event is stored in the form prescribed by the Les Houches Accords. Standard parton shower Monte Carlo programs can be used to further evolve these events, and simulate events at the hadron level, ready for almost arbitrary experimental analysis. Currently the available final states are the following: (i) t + ¯ t, (ii) t + ¯ t + H, (iii) t + ¯ t + jet, while the generation of several other final states is in progress.

NLO QCD Corrections to Electroweak Higgs Boson Plus Three Jet Production at the LHC

The implementation of the full next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to electroweak Higgs boson plus three jet production at hadron colliders such as the LHC within the Matchbox NLO framework of the Herwig++ event generator is discussed. We present numerical results for integrated cross sections and kinematic distributions.

Soft Gluon Effects in the H→ Ww Search Channel at the Lhc

Non resonant production of WW pairs is the most important background in the Higgs search in the range 155 ∼ <MH ∼< 170 GeV at the LHC. We consider QCD corrections to WW pair production in hadron collisions and present a calculation which consistently combines NLO corrections with soft-gluon resummation at small transverse momenta of the WW pair. Spin correlations are fully taken into account in...

Next-to-Leading-Order Event Generators

We review the methods developed for combining the parton shower approximation to QCD with fixed-order perturbation theory, in such a way as to achieve next-toleading-order (NLO) accuracy for inclusive observables. This has made it possible to generate fully-simulated hadronic final states with the precision and stability of NLO calculations. We explain the underlying theory of the existing meth...

NLO electroweak corrections to vector-boson scattering at the LHC

Recently, a measurement of the vector-boson scattering process with same-sign W bosons has been reported by the CMS collaboration. Hence it is of prime importance to have precise predictions with next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy. In these proceedings, we report on a recent NLO electroweak computation to the full process pp→ μνμ eνejj. As realistic experimental event selections are applied t...

Multi-jet merging with NLO matrix elements

In the algorithm presented here, the ME+PS approach [1] to merge samples of tree-level matrix elements into inclusive event samples is combined with the POWHEG method [2], which includes exact next-to-leading order matrix elements in the parton shower. The advantages of the method are discussed and the quality of its implementation in SHERPA is exemplified by results for e+e− annihilation into ...
