Multiparticle SUSY simulations at LHC & ILC: Off-Shell effects, interferences and radiative corrections
Abstract
The interesting but difficult phenomenology of supersymmetric models at the LHC and ILC demands a corresponding complexity and maturity from simulation tools. This includes multi-particle final states, reducible and irreducible backgrounds, spin correlations, real emission of photons and gluons, virtual corrections etc. Most of these topics are included in the multi-particle Monte Carlo (MC) Event generators Madgraph, WHIZARD and Sherpa. A comparison of these codes is shown, with a special focus on the new release of WHIZARD. I show examples for the necessity of considering full matrix elements with all off-shell effects and interferences for multi-particle final states in supersymmetric models and give a status report on ongoing projects for simulations of SUSY processes at the LHC with these codes, including all of the abovementioned corrections.
