Investigation of Monte Carlo Uncertainties on Higgs Boson searches using Jet Substructure
arXiv:1207.0380 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-012-2178-8
Abstract
We present an investigation of the dependence of searches for boosted Higgs bosons using jet substructure on the perturbative and non-perturbative parameters of the Herwig++ Monte Carlo event generator. Values are presented for a new tune of the parameters of the event generator, together with the an estimate of the uncertainties based on varying the parameters around the best-fit values.
