Drell-Yan lepton pair production from low to high transverse momentum

Benoît Assi, Enrico Bothmann, John Campbell +7

We present a technique for computing Drell-Yan lepton pair production at particle-level that achieves NLO and approximate NLL accuracy at small to moderate transverse mo…

The Monte Carlo Ecosystem in High-Energy Physics: A Primer

Melissa van Beekveld, Enrico Bothmann, Andy Buckley +3

Monte Carlo event generators are the central interface between theoretical calculations and experimental measurements in collider physics. Over several decades, a comprehensive and…

Consistent, multidimensional differential histogramming and summary statistics with YODA 2

Andy Buckley, Louie Corpe, Matthew Filipovich +5

Histogramming is often taken for granted, but the power and compactness of partially aggregated, multidimensional summary statistics, and their fundamental connection to differenti…

Efficient precision simulation of processes with many-jet final states at the LHC

Enrico Bothmann, Taylor Childers, Christian Guetschow +5

We present a scalable technique for the simulation of collider events with multi-jet final states, based on an improved parton-level event file format. The method is implemented fo…

A standard convention for particle-level Monte Carlo event-variation weights

Enrico Bothmann, Andy Buckley, Christian Gütschow +21

Streams of event weights in particle-level Monte Carlo event generators are a convenient and immensely CPU-efficient approach to express systematic uncertainties in phenomenology c…

Four lepton production and the accuracy of QED FSR

Christian Gütschow, Marek Schönherr

We scrutinise the ability of the primary QED final-state resummation tools, combined with electroweak virtual corrections, to reproduce the exact next-to-leading order electroweak…

A Positive Resampler for Monte Carlo Events with Negative Weights

Jeppe R. Andersen, Christian Gutschow, Andreas Maier +1

We propose the Positive Resampler to solve the problem associated with event samples from state-of-the-art predictions for scattering processes at hadron colliders typically involv…

Multi-jet merged top-pair production including electroweak corrections

Christian Gütschow, Jonas M. Lindert, Marek Schönherr

We present theoretical predictions for the production of top-quark pairs in association with jets at the LHC including electroweak (EW) corrections. First, we present and compare d…

Setting limits on supersymmetry using simplified models

C. Gütschow, Z. Marshall

Experimental limits on supersymmetry and similar theories are difficult to set because of the enormous available parameter space and difficult to generalize because of the complexi…
