Phenomenology of production at the LHC
Simone Alioli, Juan Fuster, Maria Vittoria Garzelli +6
We present phenomenological results for production at the Large Hadron Collider, of interest for designing forthcoming experimental analyses of this process. We foc…
Four-lepton production in gluon fusion at NLO matched to parton showers
Simone Alioli, Silvia Ferrario Ravasio, Jonas M. Lindert +1
We present a calculation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to gluon-induced electroweak gauge boson pair production, and , matched to th…
Novel angular dependence in Drell-Yan lepton production via dimension-8 operators
Simone Alioli, Radja Boughezal, Emanuele Mereghetti +1
We study the effects of dimension-8 operators on Drell-Yan production of lepton pairs at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We identify a class of operators that leads to novel angul…
Monte Carlo event generators for high energy particle physics event simulation
Andy Buckley, Frank Krauss, Simon Plätzer +40
Monte Carlo event generators (MCEGs) are the indispensable workhorses of particle physics, bridging the gap between theoretical ideas and first-principles calculations on the one h…
Next-to-next-to-leading order event generation for boson pair production matched to parton shower
Simone Alioli, Alessandro Broggio, Alessandro Gavardi +4
We present a novel next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD calculation matched to parton shower for the production of a pair of bosons decaying to four massless leptons, $p p…
Higgsstrahlung at NNLLNNLO Matched to Parton Showers in GENEVA
Simone Alioli, Alessandro Broggio, Stefan Kallweit +2
We present results for the Higgsstrahlung process within the GENEVA Monte Carlo framework. We combine the fully differential NNLO calculation with the higher-order resummation in t…
