A generalised- jet algorithm for Deep Inelastic Scattering
Melissa van Beekveld, Silvia Ferrario Ravasio, Alexander Karlberg +1
We introduce an inclusive generalised- jet algorithm for Deep Inelastic Scattering, defined in the Breit frame and implemented in fjcontrib. The family of algorithms is govern…
Logarithmically-accurate showers with massive quarks
Melissa van Beekveld, Silvia Ferrario Ravasio, Alba Soto-Ontoso +2
We formulate PanScales final-state showers that account for quark masses and achieve next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, while preserving the original accuracy of the showers for…
Theory uncertainties of the irreducible background to VBF Higgs production
Xuan Chen, Silvia Ferrario Ravasio, Yacine Haddad +7
Higgs boson production through gluon fusion in association with two jets is an irreducible background to Higgs boson production through vector boson fusion, one of the most importa…
The Physics of Herwig 7
J. Bellm, G. Bewick, S. Ferrario Ravasio +23
We present the physics foundations and recent developments of Herwig 7, the modern successor of the original HERWIG and Herwig++ series. Herwig 7 provides a flexible and systematic…
A new suite of Lund-tree observables to resolve jets
Melissa van Beekveld, Luca Buonocore, Silvia Ferrario Ravasio +3
We introduce a class of collider observables, named Lund-Tree Shapes (LTS), defined from declustering trees originating from the Lund jet plane representation of the QCD radiation…
Building Next-to-Next Leading Logarithmic parton showers: the PanScales recipe
Silvia Ferrario Ravasio
Parton showers lie at the core of Shower Monte Carlo event generators, the default theoretical tools used to interpret collider data. In these proceedings, we summarise the strateg…
