Hints for a Geon from Causal Dynamic Triangulations
Axel Maas, Simon Plätzer, Felix Pressler
The existence of geons, physical states of self-bound gravitons, has long been proposed. In the context of four-dimensional causal dynamical triangulation simulations we investigat…
Photoproduction in general-purpose event generators
Ilkka Helenius, Peter Meinzinger, Simon Plätzer +1
We compare the three general-purpose Monte Carlo event generators, HERWIG, PYTHIA, and SHEPRA for jet photoproduction processes in and collisions. Due to the lower en…
Matching Hadronization and Perturbative Evolution: The Cluster Model in Light of Infrared Shower Cutoff Dependence
André H. Hoang, Oliver L. Jin, Simon Plätzer +1
In the context of Monte Carlo (MC) generators with parton showers that have next-to-leading-logarithmic (NLL) precision, the cutoff terminating the shower evolution should be…
Phenomenological constraints of the building blocks of the cluster hadronization model
Stefan Gieseke, Stefan Kiebacher, Simon Plätzer +1
We introduce building blocks for the cluster hadronization model in light of a new structure, focusing on cluster fission and cluster decay. We propose theoretically motivated matr…
Fully Differential Soft Gluon Evolution at the Amplitude Level
Jeffrey R. Forshaw, Simon Plätzer, Fernando Torre González
We study differential intra-jet radiation patterns in jet production at full colour. We present a systematic study of several QCD processes and also multi-jet production f…
Dark Sector Showers and Hadronisation in Herwig 7
Suchita Kulkarni, M. R. Masouminia, Simon Plätzer +1
We present a novel simulation of a strongly interacting dark sector also known as the Hidden Valley scenarios using angular ordered showers and the cluster hadronisation model in H…
