Characterising hadronisation across the phase space
Andrea Banfi, Basem Kamal El-Menoufi
Leading hadronisation corrections to two-jet global event shapes amount to a shift in the corresponding perturbative distributions. It has been recently established that this shift…
Matching Z Hadrons at NNLO with Sector Showers
Basem Kamal El-Menoufi, Christian T. Preuss, Ludovic Scyboz +1
We present a detailed technical derivation of matching conditions at next-to-next-to-leading order in the sectorised VINCIA parton shower, by considering leading-colour 2-, 3- and…
Event Generators for High-Energy Physics Experiments
J. M. Campbell, M. Diefenthaler, T. J. Hobbs +221
We provide an overview of the status of Monte-Carlo event generators for high-energy particle physics. Guided by the experimental needs and requirements, we highlight areas of acti…
A new standard for the logarithmic accuracy of parton showers
Melissa van Beekveld, Mrinal Dasgupta, Basem Kamal El-Menoufi +9
We report on a major milestone in the construction of logarithmically accurate final-state parton showers, achieving next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy for the wid…
Two-loop anomalous dimensions for small- jet versus hadronic fragmentation functions
Melissa van Beekveld, Mrinal Dasgupta, Basem Kamal El-Menoufi +3
We study the collinear fragmentation of highly energetic jets defined with a small jet radius. In particular, we investigate how the corresponding fragmentation functions differ fr…
