We investigate inclusive forward single-hadron production in high-energy proton--proton collisions using a CGC-inspired Monte Carlo event generator, MC-CGC. We carried out a systematic study of the sensitivity of the running-coupling…
We introduce a new efficient algorithm for phase space generation. A parton shower is used to distribute events across all of multiplicity, flavor, and phase space, and these events can then be reweighted to any desired analytic…
KaTie is a parton-level event generator for hadron scattering processes that can deal with partonic initial-state momenta with an explicit transverse momentum dependence causing them to be space-like. Provided with the necessary transverse…

We propose a new mechanism where both Dirac masses for the charged-leptons and Majorana masses for neutrinos are generated via quantum levels. The charged-lepton masses are given by the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of the Higgs doublet…
