The Physics of Herwig 7
J. Bellm, G. Bewick, S. Ferrario Ravasio +23
We present the physics foundations and recent developments of Herwig 7, the modern successor of the original HERWIG and Herwig++ series. Herwig 7 provides a flexible and systematic…
KrkNLO matching and phenomenology for vector boson processes
Pratixan Sarmah, Andrzej Siódmok, James Whitehead
The combination of NLO matrix elements with parton showers is indispensable for LHC physics. Differences between matching methods introduce matching uncertainties, corresponding to…
Herwig 7 with the Lund String Model: Tuning and Comparative Hadronization Studies
Michaela Divisova, Miroslav Myska, Pratixan Sarmah +1
The modelling of the formation of colour-singlet hadrons from coloured partons, known as Hadronization, is crucial for generating realistic events in Monte Carlo Event Generators.…
KrkNLO matching for colour-singlet processes
Pratixan Sarmah, Andrzej Siódmok, James Whitehead
Matched calculations combining perturbative QCD with parton showers are an indispensable tool for LHC physics. Two methods for NLO matching are in widespread use: MC@NLO and POWHEG…
