At HERA energies ($E_{CM}\approx 320$ GeV), around ten per cent of events in electron-proton collisions are of diffractive nature. Inspired by Regge theory and the Ingelman-Schlein picture, diffractive events in Pythia are modeled via a pomeron exchange, which is treated as a particle with a parton distribution function (PDF). The diffractive part of the PDF is given by a convolution of the...

The large flux of forward neutrinos produced in proton-proton collisions
Go to contribution page
at the LHC constitutes a unique opportunity for new studies in neutrino physics,
also including tau neutrino interactions.
The recent SND@LHC and FASER experiments at the LHC will enable
these studies by exploiting this unprecedented flux of high-energy neutrinos.
Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) processes provide the... -

We present theoretical predictions for heavy-quark pair production in deep-inelastic scattering at NLO in QCD, matched to parton-shower evolution within the POWHEG framework. We revisit the NLO amplitude calculation and implement a consistent matching procedure, with careful treatment of heavy-quark mass effects and the avoidance of double counting between fixed-order and parton-shower...

Prompt-photon predictions with experimentally relevant isolation criteria retain a residual dependence on parton-to-photon fragmentation functions, whose phenomenological uncertainties remain only weakly constrained.

We present a pragmatic study of photon fragmentation functions extracted from Pythia parton-shower events and stored in an LHAPDF-compatible format.
We briefly review the role... -
