Implementing the ME+PS merging algorithm
arXiv:hep-ph/0503281 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2005/07/018
Abstract
The method to merge matrix elements for multi particle production and parton showers in electron-positron annihilations and hadronic collisions and its implementation into the new event generator SHERPA is described in detail. Examples highlighting different aspects of it are thoroughly discussed, some results for various cases are presented. In addition, a way to extend this method to general electroweak interactions is presented.
