Simulation of Tau Decays in the Herwig++ Event Generator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the simulation of tau decays in the Herwig++ event generator, which includes sophisticated modelling of the hadronic currents and full treatment of spin correlation effects. The structure of the simulation makes it easy to add new models of tau decay, change the parameters of the existing models, and use the models from tau decay for the decay of other particles. The results are compared in detail with an existing simulation, and the benefits of the new structure are illustrated by considering the decay χ1 → χ1 + hadrons in Anomaly-Mediated SUSY-Breaking (AMSB) models.

Simulations of Top Production and Decay at the Linear Collider ∗
We review the present status of simulations of top production and decay in the HERWIG Monte Carlo event generator. We show the phenomenological impact of the recently-implemented matrix-element corrections to top decays for e + e − collisions at 360 GeV and discuss possible further improvements for studies of future experiments at the Linear Collider.

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 کاملThe Monte Carlo Event Generator Acermc Version 1.0 with Interfaces to Pythia 6.2 and Herwig 6.3
The AcerMC Monte Carlo Event Generator is dedicated for the generation of Standard Model background processes at pp LHC collisions. The program itself provides a library of the massive matrix elements and phase space modules for generation of a set of selected processes: gg, qq̄ → tt̄bb̄, qq̄W (→ lν)bb̄, qq̄W (→ lν)tt̄, gg, qq̄ → Z/γ∗(→ ll)bb̄, gg, qq̄ → Z/γ∗(→ ll, νν, bb̄)tt̄ and complete electroweak gg →...
متن کاملParton-Shower Simulations of R-parity Violating Supersymmetric Models
We study the colour connection structure of R-parity violating decays and production cross sections, and construct a Monte Carlo simulation of these processes including colour coherence effects. We then present some results from the implementation of these processes in the HERWIG Monte Carlo event generator. We include the matrix elements for the two-body sfermion and three-body gaugino and glu...
