A comprehensive guide to the physics and usage of PYTHIA 8.3
Christian Bierlich, Smita Chakraborty, Nishita Desai +11
This manual describes the PYTHIA 8.3 event generator, the most recent version of an evolving physics tool used to answer fundamental questions in particle physics. The program is m…
Combining N3LO QCD calculations and parton showers for hadronic collision events
Valerio Bertone, Stefan Prestel
Detailed and precise background predictions are the backbone of large parts of high-energy collider phenomenology. This requires to embed precision QCD calculations into detailed e…
HL-LHC Computing Review: Common Tools and Community Software
HEP Software Foundation, :, Thea Aarrestad +107
Common and community software packages, such as ROOT, Geant4 and event generators have been a key part of the LHC's success so far and continued development and optimisation will b…
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…
Les Houches 2019: Physics at TeV Colliders: Standard Model Working Group Report
S. Amoroso, P. Azzurri, J. Bendavid +80
This Report summarizes the proceedings of the 2019 Les Houches workshop on Physics at TeV Colliders. Session 1 dealt with (I) new developments for high precision Standard Model cal…
On the reduction of negative weights in MC@NLO-type matching procedures
R. Frederix, S. Frixione, S. Prestel +1
We show how a careful analysis of the behaviour of a parton shower Monte Carlo in the vicinity of the soft and collinear regions allows one to formulate a modified MC@NLO-matching…
