The GENEVA Monte Carlo event generator interfaces fully-differential fixed order calculations up to NNLO with high-order resummation in a 0-jet resolution variable and with parton showers, by combining them at the appropriate scales. The resulting simulated events have therefore NNLO accuracy in the fixed-order region and NNLL' accuracy in the resummation region. The parton shower matching is...
LHC data is forcing the theory community to push their calculations to an unprecedented level of precision in multiple phase-space regions. In the High-Energy region, the perturbative convergence of the hard scattering cross-sections can be impeded by large logarithms in $s/t$ which can be numerically significant at LHC energies. These logarithms are especially important in key regions of...
The dimensional renormalization of chiral gauge theories such as the electroweak Standard Model inevitably leads to the problem of accommodating the manifestly 4-dimensional nature of $\gamma_{5}$ in $D$ dimensions. In order to avoid inconsistencies at the multi-loop level, $\gamma_{5}$ can be treated rigorously as a non-anticommuting object using the Breitenlohner-Maison/'t Hooft-Veltman...
