One can use more than one scale variable to specify the family of surfaces in the space of parton splitting parameters that define the evolution of a parton shower. Considering $e^+e^-$ annihilation, we use two variables, with shower…
We present a new approach to combine multiple NLO parton-level calculations matched to parton showers into a single inclusive event sample. The method provides a description of hard multi-jet configurations at next-to leading order in the…
A method is detailed for the phase space integration of multi-jets cross sections at lepton colliders, applicable to parton level Monte Carlo's at any order in perturbation theory. Other non-jet objects, massless or massive, can be included…
QCD predictions for final states with multiple jets in hadron collisions make use of multi-jet merging methods, which allow one to combine consistently the contributions from hard scattering matrix elements with different parton…
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…
A method is suggested to combine tree level QCD matrix for the production of multi jet final states and the parton shower in hadronic interactions. The method follows closely an algorithm developed recently for the case of $e^+e^-$…
We propose a scheme that could offer a convenient Monte Carlo sampling of next-to-leading-order matrix elements and, at the same time, allow the interfacing of such parton configurations with a parton-shower approach for the estimation of…
One can use more than one scale variable to define the family of surfaces in the space of parton splitting parameters that define the evolution of a parton shower. In an earlier paper, we developed this idea for electron-positron…
We present a new parton-shower algorithm. Borrowing from the basic ideas of dipole cascades, the evolution variable is judiciously chosen as the transverse momentum in the soft limit. This leads to a very simple analytic structure of the…
We introduce a method for matching the neutral-current deep inelastic scattering process with parton showers at first order in the strong coupling. This multiplicative matching is achieved by reweighting leading-order Born-level events and…
We investigate high-order finite difference schemes for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation continuum limit of nondominated sorting. Nondominated sorting is an algorithm for sorting points in Euclidean space into layers by repeatedly removing…
A factorization algorithm for a patron shower model based on the evolution of momentum distributions proposed in a previous work is studied. The scaling violation of initial state parton distributions is generated using parton showers to an…
In this paper we outline a new parton shower algorithm based on the Catani-Seymour dipole factorization. Our motivation is to have an algorithm which can naturally cooperate with the NLO calculations.
A Markovian shower algorithm based on "sector antennae" is presented and its main properties illustrated. Tree-level full-color matrix elements can be automatically incorporated in the algorithm and are re-interpreted as process-dependent 2…
We present an antenna-shower formalism that includes helicity dependence for massless partons. The formalism applies to both traditional (global) showers and to sector-based variants. We combine the shower with VINCIA's multiplicative…
First, we present a combined analysis of ${\rm p}{\rm p} \to \mu^+ \nu_\mu {\rm e}^- \bar \nu_{\rm e}$ and ${\rm p}{\rm p} \to \mu^+ \nu_\mu {\rm e}^- \bar \nu_{\rm e} {\rm j}$ at next-to-leading order, including both QCD and electroweak…
In the algorithm presented here, the ME+PS approach to merge samples of tree-level matrix elements into inclusive event samples is combined with the POWHEG method, which includes exact next-to-leading order matrix elements in the parton…
Jet quenching - the modification of high-energy jets in the quark-gluon plasma - has been extensively studied through weakly coupled scattering amplitudes embedded in parton-shower frameworks. These models, often combined with bulk…
Ordered momentum mappings present optimal convergence in soft and collinear configurations and are particularly suitable for the numerical implementation of local subtraction schemes. However, ordered mappings cannot be directly applied in…
We describe an algorithm for improving subsequent parton shower emissions by full SU(3) color correlations in the framework of a dipole-type shower. As a proof of concept, we present results from the first implementation of such an…
