We present a method to combine next-to-leading order (NLO) matrix elements in QCD with leading logarithmic parton showers by applying a suitably modified version of the phase-space-slicing method. The method consists of subsuming the NLO…
We study Higgs-boson production in association with a top-quark pair ($t\bar{t}H$) at hadron colliders and present the first matching of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to parton showers using the MiNNLOPS method. For…
Physics and programming aspects are discussed for a Fortran 77 Monte Carlo program to simulate complete events in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering. The parton level interaction is based on the standard model electroweak cross…

We study the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) evolution of flavour singlet parton densities and structure functions in massless perturbative QCD. Present information on the corresponding three-loop splitting functions is used to derive…
Spin correlations are an important, but often neglected, effect in modern Monte Carlo event generators. We show that they can be fully incorporated in Herwig 7 using the algorithm originally proposed by Collins and Knowles in all stages of…
We solve the LO DGLAP QCD evolution equation for truncated Mellin moments of the nucleon nonsinglet structure function. The results are compared with those, obtained in the Chebyshev-polynomial approach for $x$-space solutions. Computations…
We introduce the first family of parton showers that achieve next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy for processes involving a $t$-channel exchange of a colour-singlet, and embed them in the PanScales framework. These showers are…
With Run-II of the LHC starting its final year of data-taking, high precision theoretical predictions through Monte-Carlo event generators whose uncertainties match that of the recorded data are of highest importance. This talk summarises…
We present an event generator for the process $pp\to \ell\nu_\ell\gamma$ at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD and matched to the PYTHIA8 parton shower. The calculation makes use of the GENEVA framework, which combines a resummed…
We have implemented two recently proposed dipole shower algorithms that have next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy at leading colour in the Herwig event generator. We study their properties and compare them to Herwig's existing dipole and…
We study the interface between Regge behavior and DGLAP evolution in a non-perturbative model for the nucleon structure function based on a multipole pomeron exchange. This model provides the input for a subsequent DGLAP evolution that we…
The positive weight next-to-leading-order (NLO) matching scheme (POWHEG) is applied to Drell-Yan vector boson production in the Herwig++ Monte Carlo event generator. This approach consistently combines the NLO calculation and parton shower…
Within the framework of generalized factorization of higher-twist contributions, including modification to splitting functions of both quark and gluon, we get and numerically resolve the medium-modified DGLAP (mDGLAP) evolution equations.…
The theoretical treatment of jet quenching lacks a full description of the interplay between vacuum-like emissions, usually formulated in momentum space, and medium induced ones that demand an interface with a space-time picture of the…

We formulate and numerically solve the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi~(DGLAP) evolution equations at next-to-leading order in perturbation theory directly for a basis of 6 physical, observable structure functions in deeply…
We present a method, based on the positive weight next-to-leading-order matching formalism (POWHEG), to simulate photon production processes at next-to-leading-order (NLO). This technique is applied to the simulation of diphoton production…
We derive evolution equations for the truncated Mellin moments of the parton distributions. We find that the equations have the same form as those for the partons themselves. The modified splitting function for n-th moment $P'(n,x)$ is…
