Matching NLO QCD computations with Parton Shower simulations: the POWHEG method
Stefano Frixione, Paolo Nason, Carlo Oleari
The aim of this work is to describe in detail the POWHEG method, first suggested by one of the authors, for interfacing parton-shower generators with NLO QCD computations. We descr…
MINT: a Computer Program for Adaptive Monte Carlo Integration and Generation of Unweighted Distributions
P. Nason
In this note I illustrate the program MINT, a FORTRAN program for Monte Carlo adaptive integration and generation of unweighted distributions.
The POWHEG-hvq manual version 1.0
Stefano Frixione, Paolo Nason, Giovanni Ridolfi
This note documents the use of the POWHEG-hvq package, a generator for heavy flavour hadroproduction at next-to-leading order in QCD, that can be easily interfaced to shower Monte…
Radiative quarkonium decays and the NMSSM Higgs interpretation of the HyperCP Sigma+ --> p mu+mu- events
Michelangelo L. Mangano, Paolo Nason
We study the potential of radiative decays of the Upsilon(1S) and of the phi mesons to search for a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson, proposed as a possible interpretation of Sigma+…
