Solving QCD evolution equations in rapidity space with Markovian Monte Carlo
نویسنده
چکیده
This work covers methodology of solving QCD evolution equation of the parton distribution using Markovian Monte Carlo (MMC) algorithms in a class of models ranging from DGLAP to CCFM. One of the purposes of the above MMCs is to test the other more sophisticated Monte Carlo programs, the so-called Constrained Monte Carlo (CMC) programs, which will be used as a building block in the parton shower MC. This is why the mapping of the evolution variables (eikonal variable and evolution time) into four-momenta is also defined and tested. The evolution time is identified with the rapidity variable of the emitted parton. The presented MMCs are tested independently, with ∼ 0.1% precision, against the non-MC program APCheb especially devised for this purpose.

Markovian Monte Carlo solutions of the NLO QCD evolution equations
We present precision Monte Carlo calculations solving the QCD evolution equations up to the next-to-leading-order (NLO) level. They employ forward Markovian Monte Carlo (FMC) algorithms, which provide the rigorous solutions of the QCD evolution equations. Appropriate Monte Carlo algorithms are described in detail. They are implemented in the form of the Monte Carlo program EvolFMC, which featur...
متن کاملMarkovian Monte Carlo program EvolFMC v.2 for solving QCD evolution equations
We present the program EvolFMC v.2 that solves the evolution equations in QCD for the parton momentum distributions by means of the Monte Carlo technique based on the Markovian process. The program solves the DGLAP-type evolution as well as modified-DGLAP ones. In both cases the evolution can be performed in the LO or NLO approximation. The quarks are treated as massless. The overall technical ...
متن کاملMarkovian MC simulation of QCD evolution at NLO level with minimum k T ?
We present two Monte Carlo algorithms of the Markovian type which solve the modified QCD evolution equations at the NLO level. The modifications with respect to the standard DGLAP evolution concern the argument of the strong coupling constant αS . We analyze the z-dependent argument and then the kT -dependent one. The evolution time variable is identified with the rapidity. The two algorithms a...
متن کاملNon-Markovian Monte Carlo Algorithm for the Constrained Markovian Evolution in QCD
We revisit the challenging problem of finding an efficient Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm solving the constrained evolution equations for the initial-state QCD radiation. The type of the parton (quark, gluon) and the energy fraction x of the parton exiting emission chain (entering hard process) are predefined, i.e. constrained throughout the evolution. Such a constraint is mandatory for any realist...
متن کاملHierarchically Organized Iterative Solutions of the Evolution Equations in QCD
The task of Monte Carlo simulation of the evolution of the parton distributions in QCD and of constructing new parton shower Monte Carlo algorithms requires new way of organizing solutions of the QCD evolution equations, in which quark−gluon transitions on one hand and quark−quark or gluon−gluon transitions (pure gluonstrahlung) on the other hand, are treated separately and differently. This re...
