A Precision Event Generator for EW Corrections in Hadron Scattering: ${\cal KK}$MC-hh

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-11-26 v1

Abstract

KK{\cal KK}MC-hh is a precision event-generator for Z production and decay in hadronic collisions, which applies amplitude-level resummation to both initial and final state photon radiation, including perturbative residuals exact through O(α2L){\cal O}(\alpha^2L), together with exact O(α){\cal O}(\alpha) EW matrix element corrections. We present some comparisons to other programs and results showing the effect of multi-photon radiation for cuts motivated by a recent ATLAS W mass analysis. We also show preliminary untuned comparisons of the electroweak corrections of KK{\cal KK}MC-hh to those of HORACE, which includes exact O(α){\cal O}(\alpha) corrections with resummed final-state photon radiation.
