Accurate predictions for both signal and background events at the LHC are of paramount importance in order to confirm even the smallest deviations from Standard Model predictions. Next-to-leading order Monte Carlo event generators are an…
With the High Luminosity LHC coming online in the near future, event generators will need to provide very large event samples to match the experimental precision. Currently, the estimated cost to generate these events exceeds the computing…
