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…
HEPTAPOD: Orchestrating High Energy Physics Workflows Towards Autonomous Agency
Tony Menzo, Alexander Roman, Sergei Gleyzer +5
Many theoretical and experimental workflows in high-energy-physics (HEP) stand to benefit from recent advances in transformer-based large language models (LLMs). While early applic…
Higgs production via vector-boson fusion at the LHC
Gaetano Barone, Jiayi Chen, Stephane Cooperstein +12
In this article, we summarise the recent experimental measurements and theoretical work on Higgs boson production via vector-boson fusion at the LHC. Along with this, we provide st…
QCD Theory meets Information Theory
Benoît Assi, Stefan Höche, Kyle Lee +1
We present a novel technique to incorporate precision calculations from quantum chromodynamics into fully differential particle-level Monte-Carlo simulations. By minimizing an info…
Recoil-Safe Subtraction, Matching and Merging in e+e- to hadrons
Stefan Höche, Frank Krauss, Peter Meinzinger +1
We present the first next-to-leading order matched and multi-jet merged predictions based on the Alaric parton shower. The components needed for infrared subtraction in the S-MC@NL…
Event generation with Sherpa 3
Enrico Bothmann, Lois Flower, Christian Gütschow +12
Sherpa is a general-purpose Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of particle collisions in high-energy collider experiments. We summarise new developments, essential feat…
