Methods to Select Soft Diffraction Dissociation at the LHC
Emily Nurse, Sercan Sen
Diffractive events at hadron colliders are typically characterised by a region of the detector without particles, known as a rapidity gap. In order to observe diffractive events in…
LO vs NLO comparisons for Z + jets: MC as a tool for background determination for NP searches at LHC
Flavia A. Dias, Emily Nurse, Gavin Hesketh
The leptonic decays of the heavy gauge bosons W and/or Z provide a clear experimental signature at hadron colliders. The production of accompanying jets is an excellent signal to p…
General-purpose event generators for LHC physics
Andy Buckley, Jonathan Butterworth, Stefan Gieseke +12
We review the physics basis, main features and use of general-purpose Monte Carlo event generators for the simulation of proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Topi…
