Event-Based Transverse Momentum Resummation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-09-13 v2

Abstract

We have developed a framework for automated transverse momentum resummation for arbitrary electroweak final states based on reweighting tree-level events. It is fully differential in the kinematics of the electroweak final states, which facilitates a straightforward analysis of arbitrary observables in the small transverse momentum region. We have implemented the resummation at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy and match to next-to-leading fixed-order results using the event generator MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. Results for ZZ and WW boson production with leptonic decay as well as WZWZ production are presented. We compare to experimental measurements for the transverse momentum and the angular observable ϕ\phi^*.
