Description
Comparisons of experimental data with theoretical predictions for
collider processes containing hadronic jets rely on shower Monte Carlo event generators to include corrections to perturbative
calculations from hadronization, parton showering, multiple parton collisions. We examine current treatments of these
corrections and propose alternative methods to take into account
nonperturbative effects and parton showering in the context of
next-to-leading-order (NLO) event generators. We point out sizeable
parton-showering corrections to jet transverse energy spectra
at high rapidity, and discuss kinematic shifts in longitudinal
momentum distributions from initial state showering in the
case both of jet production and of heavy mass production
at the Large Hadron Collider.
