Morphing parton showers with event derivatives
Benjamin Nachman, Stefan Prestel
We develop EventMover, a differentiable parton shower event generator. This tool generates high- and variable-length scattering events that can be moved with simulation derivatives…
Systematic Quark/Gluon Identification with Ratios of Likelihoods
Samuel Bright-Thonney, Ian Moult, Benjamin Nachman +1
Discriminating between quark- and gluon-initiated jets has long been a central focus of jet substructure, leading to the introduction of numerous observables and calculations to hi…
Collider Events on a Quantum Computer
Gösta Gustafson, Stefan Prestel, Michael Spannowsky +1
High-quality simulated data is crucial for particle physics discoveries. Therefore, parton shower algorithms are a major building block of the data synthesis in event generator pro…
Back-to-back azimuthal correlations in Z+jet events at high transverse momentum in the TMD parton branching method at next-to-leading order
H. Yang, A. Bermudez Martinez, L. I. Estevez Banos +9
Azimuthal correlations in Z+jet production at large transverse momenta are computed by matching Parton - Branching (PB) TMD parton distributions and showers with NLO calculations v…
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…
A standard convention for particle-level Monte Carlo event-variation weights
Enrico Bothmann, Andy Buckley, Christian Gütschow +21
Streams of event weights in particle-level Monte Carlo event generators are a convenient and immensely CPU-efficient approach to express systematic uncertainties in phenomenology c…
Current Status and Future Prospects for the Light Dark Matter eXperiment
Torsten Åkesson, Nikita Blinov, Lukas Brand-Baugher +45
The constituents of dark matter are still unknown, and the viable possibilities span a vast range of masses. The physics community has established searching for sub-GeV dark matter…
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…
