Modelling and tuning in top quark physics

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-01-16 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

In this proceedings I discuss the general strategy and impact of tuning Monte-Carlo event generators for physics processes involving top quarks. Special emphasis is put on disinguishing the different usages of event generators in the experiments and the subsequent implications on the tuning process. The current status of determining tune uncertainties is also discussed.
