Combining QCD Matrix Elements and Parton Showers

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A new method for combining QCD matrix elements and parton showers in Monte Carlo simulations of hadronic final states is outlined. The aim is to provide at least a leading-order description of all hard multi-jet configurations together with jet fragmentation to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, while avoiding the most serious problems of double counting.
