A Projective Phase Space Generator for Hadronic Vector Boson Plus One Jet Production
arXiv:1907.03893
Abstract
In this paper we use our previously developed projective phase space generator for the calculation of the hadronic production of a vector boson with one additional jet at Next-to-Leading Order. The projective phase space generator allows us to make physical predictions in novel ways, speeding up both evaluation time and attainable accuracy. For the numerical evaluation we explore a computational model which combines the use of both multi-threading and distributed resources through the use of grid or cloud computing without depending on local institutional computer availability. The projective phase space method is well suited for this approach and gives through the use of cloud computing instant access to a large pool of resources.
