Simulation of Beyond Standard Model Physics in Herwig++

چکیده
We present a new approach for the simulation of Beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics within the Herwig++ event generator. Our approach is more generic than previous methods with the aim of minimising the effort of implementing further new physics models. Spin correlations, which are important for BSM models due to new heavy fermions and bosons, are discussed and their effects demonstrated for the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and Randall-Sundrum Model using our new framework.

Simulation of Finite Width Effects in Physics Beyond the Standard Model
We present a method for the inclusion of finite width effects in the simulation of Beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics. In order to test the validity of the method we compare our results with matrix elements for a range of production and decay processes in the Standard Model, Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and Minimal Universal Extra Dimensions model (MUED). This procedure has bee...
متن کاملHerwig++ Physics and Manual
In this paper we describe Herwig++ version 2.1, a general-purpose Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of hard lepton-lepton and hadron-hadron collisions. A number of important hard scattering processes are available, together with an interface via the Les Houches Accord to specialized matrix element generators for additional processes. The simulation of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM...
متن کاملHERWIG 6: an event generator for Hadron Emission Reactions With Interfering Gluons
HERWIG is a general-purpose Monte Carlo event generator, which includes the simulation of hard lepton-lepton, lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron scattering and soft hadron-hadron collisions in one package. It uses the parton-shower approach for initialand final-state QCD radiation, including colour coherence effects and azimuthal correlations both within and between jets. This article updates the ...

متن کاملComputer Simulations of High Energy Physics
This thesis describes the development of two independent computer programs, Herwig++ and Effective. Both of these programs are used for phenomenological predictions of high energy physics. The former is used to simulate events as measured at particle colliders. The latter is used to generate the mass spectrum of supersymmetric models. Simulation of collider events requires the implementation of...
