An Iterative Rejection Sampling Method
A. Sherstnev
In the note we consider an iterative generalisation of the rejection sampling method. In high energy physics, this sampling is frequently used for event generation, i.e. preparatio…
Different PDF approximations useful for LO Monte Carlo generators
A. Sherstnev, R. S. Thorne
The goal of this study is to find a prescription for defining parton distributions (PDFs) which are most appropriate for use in those codes where only LO matrix elements (MEs) are…
Standard Model Handles and Candles Working Group: Tools and Jets Summary Report
C. Buttar, J. D'Hondt, M. Kramer +54
This report summarizes the activity on comparisons of existings tools for the standard model and on issues in jet physics by the SMHC working group during and subsequent to the Wor…
A Les Houches Interface for BSM Generators
J. Alwall, E. Boos, L. Dudko +6
We propose to combine and slightly extend two existing "Les Houches Accords" to provide a simple generic interface between beyond-the-standard-model parton-level and event-level ge…
Parton Distributions for LO Generators
A. Sherstnev, R. S. Thorne
We present a study of the results obtained combining LO partonic matrix elements with either LO or NLO partons distributions. These are compared to the best prediction using NLO fo…
Parton Distributions for LO Calculations
R. S. Thorne, A. Sherstnev, C. Gwenlan
We present a study of the results obtained combining LO partonic matrix elements with different orders of partons distributions. These are compared to the best prediction using NLO…
