Parton distribution functions in Monte Carlo factorisation scheme

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-12-21 v2

Abstract

A next step in development of the KrkNLO method of including complete NLO QCD corrections to hard processes in a LO parton-shower Monte Carlo (PSMC) is presented. It consists of generalisation of the method, previously used for the Drell-Yan process, to Higgs-boson production. This extension is accompanied with the complete description of parton distribution functions (PDFs) in a dedicated, Monte Carlo (MC) factorisation scheme, applicable to any process of production of one or more colour-neutral particles in hadron-hadron collisions.
