Scattering of Dark Particles with Light Mediators
Davison E. Soper, Michael Spannowsky, Tim M. P. Tait +1
We present a treatment of the high energy scattering of dark Dirac fermions from nuclei, mediated by the exchange of a light vector boson. The dark fermions are produced by proton-…
Finding physics signals with event deconstruction
Davison E. Soper, Michael Spannowsky
We develop a matrix element based reconstruction method called event deconstruction. The method uses information from the hard matrix element and a parton shower to assign probabil…
Parton distribution functions in the context of parton showers
Zoltan Nagy, Davison E. Soper
When the initial state evolution of a parton shower is organized according to the standard "backward evolution'' prescription, ratios of parton distribution functions appear in the…
Ordering variable for parton showers
Zoltan Nagy, Davison E. Soper
The parton splittings in a parton shower are ordered according to an ordering variable, for example the transverse momentum of the daughter partons relative to the direction of the…
A parton shower based on factorization of the quantum density matrix
Zoltan Nagy, Davison E. Soper
We present first results from a new parton shower event generator, Deductor. Anticipating a need for an improved treatment of parton color and spin, the structure of the generator…
