We compute the primary Lund plane density for jets initiated by a massive ($b$) quark to single logarithmic accuracy in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). In order to capture mass effects, we consider quasi-collinear factorisation and we include…

I present a new algorithm, CALCLENS, for efficiently computing weak gravitational lensing shear signals from large N-body light cone simulations over a curved sky. This new algorithm properly accounts for the sky curvature and boundary…

We present a general method to match fully differential next-to-next-to-leading (NNLO) calculations to parton shower programs. We discuss in detail the perturbative accuracy criteria a complete NNLO+PS matching has to satisfy. Our method is…

We introduce matching functions as a means of summing heavy-quark logarithms to any order. Our analysis is based on Witten's approach, where heavy quarks are decoupled one at a time in a mass-independent renormalization scheme. The outcome…

We propose an extension of matrix element plus parton shower merging at tree level to preserve inclusive cross sections obtained from the merged and showered sample. Implementing this constraint generates approximate next-to-leading order…

Pions constitute nearly $70\%$ of final state particles in ultra high energy collisions. They act as a probe to understand the statistical properties of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) matter i.e. Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in such…

We show that the presence of an infrared cutoff $Q_0$ in the parton shower (PS) evolution for massive quarks implies that the generator quark mass corresponds to a $Q_0$-dependent short-distance mass scheme and is therefore not the pole…

Using detailed simulations of calorimeter showers as training data, we investigate the use of deep learning algorithms for the simulation and reconstruction of particles produced in high-energy physics collisions. We train neural networks…

Particles produced in high energy collisions that are charged under one of the fundamental forces will radiate proportionally to their charge, such as photon radiation from electrons in quantum electrodynamics. At sufficiently high…

We review the methods developed for combining the parton shower approximation to QCD with fixed-order perturbation theory, in such a way as to achieve next-to-leading-order (NLO) accuracy for inclusive observables. This has made it possible…

Parton shower algorithms are key components of theoretical predictions for high-energy collider physics. Work towards more accurate parton shower algorithms is thus pursued along many different avenues. The systematic treatment of…

We consider a hypothetical apparatus that implements measurements for arbitrary 4-local quantum observables A on n qubits. The apparatus implements the ``measurement algorithm'' after receiving a classical description of A. We show that a…

We consider the Lagrange density of non-relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics expanded up to order $1/m^2$, where $m$ is the heavy quark mass, and compute several matching coefficients up to two-loop order. Our results are building blocks for…

We review many of the recently developed applications of Heavy Quark Effective Theory techniques. After a brief update on Luke's theorem, we describe striking relations between heavy baryon form factors, and how to use them to estimate the…

We present differential cross sections for the production of top-quark pairs in conjunction with up to two jets, computed at next-to leading order in perturbative QCD and consistently merged with a parton shower in the Sherpa+OpenLoops…

The study of the shape and sub-structure of high p_T jets produced in hadron collisions is becoming an increasingly important component of LHC phenomenology in the context of new particle discoveries. We study here the state of the art for…

Based on solutions of the cascade equations, the air-shower universality is a framework that for all air showers with the same energy, zenith angle, depth of shower maximum, and muon number predicts the same longitudinal, lateral, and…

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…

High-quality simulated data is crucial for particle physics discoveries. Therefore, parton shower algorithms are a major building block of the data synthesis in event generator programs. However, the core algorithms used to generate parton…

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…
