Exponentiating virtual imaginary contributions in a parton shower
Zoltan Nagy, Davison E. Soper
The operator in a parton shower algorithm that represents the imaginary part of virtual Feynman graphs has a non-trivial color structure and is large because it is proportional to…
Effect of color on rapidity gap survival
Zoltan Nagy, Davison E. Soper
We study the probability for no jets with transverse momenta above a given cut to be found in the rapidity region between two high pT jets with a large rapidity separation. Our inv…
Hadron structure in high-energy collisions
Karol Kovarik, Pavel M. Nadolsky, Davison E. Soper
Parton distribution functions (PDFs) describe the structure of hadrons as composed of quarks and gluons. They are needed to make predictions for short-distance processes in high-en…
Parton showers with more exact color evolution
Zoltan Nagy, Davison E. Soper
Parton shower event generators typically approximate evolution of QCD color so that only contributions that are leading in the limit of an infinite number of colors are retained. O…
Monte Carlo event generators for high energy particle physics event simulation
Andy Buckley, Frank Krauss, Simon Plätzer +40
Monte Carlo event generators (MCEGs) are the indispensable workhorses of particle physics, bridging the gap between theoretical ideas and first-principles calculations on the one h…
