IR-improved DGLAP parton shower effects in W + jets in pp collisions at TeV
arXiv:1809.01492 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.100.034026
Abstract
We use HERWIRI1.031, a new Monte Carlo event generator for hadron-hadron scattering at high energies, to study the phenomenological effects of our approach of exact amplitude-based resummation in precision QCD calculations. W + jet(s) events with exact NLO QCD corrections are generated in the MG5_aMC@NLO framework and showered by both HERWIRI1.031 and HERWIG6.5 with PTRMS = 0 and PTRMS = 2.2 GeV/c, respectively. Here, PTRMS is the rms value of the intrinsic Gaussian transverse momentum distribution for the partons inside the proton. The differential cross sections for many observables are presented such as the jet rapidities and the jet transverse momenta as well as other event observables such as the scalar sums of transverse momenta of the jets, the missing transverse energy of the jets and the dijets' observables. Finally, we compare our results with the ATLAS and CMS measurements of the W production cross sections in association with jets.
