Two cutoff phase space slicing method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The phase space slicing method of two cutoffs for next-to-leading-order Monte Carlo style QCD corrections has been applied to many physics processes. The method is intuitive, simple to implement, and relies on a minimum of process dependent information. Although results for specific applications exist in the literature, there is not a full and detailed description of the method. Herein such a description is provided, along with illustrative examples; details, which have not previously been published, are included so that the method may be applied to additional hard scattering processes.

متن کاملCombining QCD Matrix Elements at Next-to-Leading Order with Parton Showers in Electroproduction
We present a method to combine next-to-leading order (NLO) matrix elements in QCD with leading logarithmic parton showers by applying a suitably modified version of the phase-space-slicing method. The method consists of subsuming the NLO corrections into a scale-dependent phase-space-slicing parameter, which is then automatically adjusted to cut out the leading order, virtual, soft and collinea...
متن کاملA New Calculation of the NLO Energy-Energy Correlation Function
We present a new calculation of the O(rx;) coefficient of the energy-energy correlation function (EEC) using two different schemes to cancel infrared and collinear poles. The numerical evaluation uses the phase space slicing and the hybrid subtraction method. Both schemes converge with decreasing slicing cut. The results are independent of the scheme for small cuts. For the pure phase space sli...

We present a general method to combine next-to-leading order (NLO) matrix elements in QCD with leading logarithmic parton showers by applying a suitably modified version of the phase-space-slicing method.

متن کاملInclusive Dijet Production at HERA: Direct Photon Cross Sections in Next-To-Leading Order QCD
We have calculated inclusive two-jet cross sections in next-to-leading order QCD for direct photoproduction in low Q2 ep collisions at HERA. Infrared and collinear singularities in real and virtual contributions are cancelled with the phase space slicing method. Analytical formulas for the different contributions giving the dependence on the slicing parameter are presented. Various oneand two-j...
