In this work we present a new subtraction method for next-to-leading order calculations that is particularly convenient even when narrow resonances are present. The method is particularly suitable for the implementation of next-to-leading…
Presently available perturbative QCD calculations combining hard process matrix element with the Parton Shower Monte Carlo programs feature hard process matrix element calculated often beyond the leading order (LO), that is including…
I review recent results in QCD at high energy, emphasizing the role of higher-order computations, power corrections, and Monte Carlo simulations in the study of a few discrepancies between data and perturbative predictions, and discussing…
Parton shower Monte Carlo event generators in which the shower evolves from hard splittings to soft splittings generally use the leading color approximation, which is the leading term in an expansion in powers of $1/N_c^2$, where $N_c = 3$…
In order to make quantitative predictions for jet cross sections in perturbative QCD, it is essential to calculate them to next-to-leading accuracy. This has traditionally been an extremely laborious process. Using a new formalism,…
Parton shower event generators typically approximate evolution of QCD color so that only contributions that are leading in the limit of an infinite number of colors are retained. Our parton shower generator, Deductor, has used an "LC+"…
Computations at next-to-leading order in the Standard Model offer new technical challenges in presence of higher dimensional operators. We introduce a framework that, starting from the top-quark effective field theory at dimension six,…
In this talk, I show the automated Monte Carlo simulations at next-to-leading order in QCD as well as its matching to parton showers are already feasible within the framework of \MG5aMC. I briefly overview the recent activities and take the…
We have implemented a systematic procedure for combining parton shower algorithms with next-to-leading order QCD calculations for the case of jet production in deep-inelastic electron-proton scattering. Using this method we have computed…
Given the current landscape in experimental high-energy physics, these lectures are focused on applications of event generators for hadron colliders like the Tevatron and LHC. Section 2 contains a first overview of the physics picture and…
This contribution provides a pedagogical introduction to and review of the current status and ongoing progress in the development of Monte Carlo tools for the calculation and simulation of high-Q^2 processes in hadronic collisions.
In this contribution, we summarize the key concepts behind the next-to-leading-logarithm accurate parton shower algorithm ALARIC. We discuss tests of the logarithmic accuracy and present comparisons to LEP data.
We propose a general approach for the description of multijet events in the framework of QCD event generators. We introduce a new algorithm to match parton showers and arbitrary matrix elements for the production of any number of jets via…
Parton shower Monte Carlo event generators in which the shower evolves from hard splittings to soft splittings generally use the leading color (LC) approximation, which is the leading term in an expansion in powers of $1/N_\Lc^2$, where…
I show how to construct Monte Carlo algorithms (programs), prove that they are correct and document them. Complicated algorithms are build using a handful of elementary methods. This construction process is transparently illustrated using…
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…
Precision computations of QCD and QCD+electroweak emission scattering processes will play an important role in understanding experimental data from the LHC, and thereby in uncovering new physics beyond the Standard Model. Recent years have…
The choice of a factorization scheme suitable for Monte Carlo simulations of NLO initial state parton showers is discussed in this contribution.
This is the user's manual of [email protected]. This package is a practical implementation, based upon the HERWIG event generator, of the recently proposed MC@NLO formalism for matching the next-to-leading order calculation of a QCD process with a…
A very brief status of next-to-leading order QCD calculations is given. As an example the next-to-leading order QCD calculations to the pp -> ttjj processes at the CERN Large Hardon Collider are presented. Results for integrated and…
