Speaker
Description
Polarization of vector bosons started to become an extensively investigated topic in recent years due to its sensitivity to the concrete mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and to beyond standard model physics. The general-purpose Monte-Carlo event generator Sherpa is used for event simulation of various processes in the analysis of LHC data. In this talk, an implementation is presented which will enable the simulation of polarized cross sections for vector bosons in future releases of Sherpa. Special features are discussed including the simulation of all polarized contributions in a single run and the direct calculation of the interference between them. Validation data comparing the new implementation with literature studies and results from its first applications in phenomenological analyses will be shown for several processes.
