Factorization at the LHC: From PDFs to Initial State Jets (Ph.D. thesis)
Wouter J. Waalewijn
New physics searches at the LHC or Tevatron typically look for a specific number of hard jets, leptons and photons. To obtain an exclusive N-jet sample, one can measure the event s…
The Soft Function for Exclusive N-Jet Production at Hadron Colliders
Teppo T. Jouttenus, Iain W. Stewart, Frank J. Tackmann +1
The N-jettiness event shape divides phase space into N+2 regions, each containing one jet or beam. Using a geometric measure these regions correspond to jets with circular boundari…
Towards a global fit to extract the B->Xs gamma decay rate and Vub
Florian U. Bernlochner, Heiko Lacker, Zoltan Ligeti +3
The total B->Xs gamma decay rate and the CKM-matrix element Vub play an important role in finding indirect evidence for new physics affecting the flavor sector of the Standard Mode…
Nonperturbative m_X cut effects in B -> Xs l+ l- observables
Keith S. M. Lee, Frank J. Tackmann
Recently, it was shown that in inclusive B -> Xs l+ l- decay, an angular decomposition provides three independent (q^2 dependent) observables. A strategy was formulated to extract…
Treating the b quark distribution function with reliable uncertainties
Zoltan Ligeti, Iain W. Stewart, Frank J. Tackmann
The parton distribution function for a b quark in the B meson (called the shape function) plays an important role in the analysis of the B -> X_s gamma and B -> X_u l nu data, and…
GenEvA (II): A phase space generator from a reweighted parton shower
Christian W. Bauer, Frank J. Tackmann, Jesse Thaler
We introduce a new efficient algorithm for phase space generation. A parton shower is used to distribute events across all of multiplicity, flavor, and phase space, and these event…
