The SM and NLO Multileg and SM MC Working Groups: Summary Report
J. Alcaraz Maestre, S. Alioli, J. R. Andersen +79
The 2011 Les Houches workshop was the first to confront LHC data. In the two years since the previous workshop there have been significant advances in both soft and hard QCD, parti…
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…
New developments in event generator tuning techniques
Andy Buckley, Hendrik Hoeth, Heiko Lacker +2
Data analyses in hadron collider physics depend on background simulations performed by Monte Carlo (MC) event generators. However, calculational limitations and non-perturbative ef…
THE TOOLS AND MONTE CARLO WORKING GROUP Summary Report from the Les Houches 2009 Workshop on TeV Colliders
J. M. Butterworth, F. Maltoni, F. Moortgat +69
This is the summary and introduction to the proceedings contributions for the Les Houches 2009 "Tools and Monte Carlo" working group.
Rivet user manual
Andy Buckley, Jonathan Butterworth, David Grellscheid +5
This is the manual and user guide for the Rivet system for the validation and tuning of Monte Carlo event generators for high energy physics. As well as the core Rivet library, thi…
Systematic event generator tuning for the LHC
Andy Buckley, Hendrik Hoeth, Heiko Lacker +2
In this article we describe Professor, a new program for tuning model parameters of Monte Carlo event generators to experimental data by parameterising the per-bin generator respon…
