26. BSM physics with Sherpa

Steffen Schumann

7/2/08, 4:00 PM

I will review the capabilities of the Sherpa Monte Carlo generator for simulating beyond the Standard Model physics. Special emphasis will be given to the newly developed interface to the FeynRules packages. This allows to input model parameters and interaction vertices, needed for matrix element calculations, in a very simple way.

27. Weighting di-boson Monte Carlo events in hadron colliders

Gideon Bella (High Energy Physics Department)

7/2/08, 4:30 PM

A detailed study of the di-boson Monte Carlo programs Pythia, MC@NLO and the program of Baur, Han and Ohnemus (BHO) is performed. None of these programs cover all aspects of di-boson production. The BHO code is used to produce event weights emulating anomalous triple gauge couplings in Pythia and MC@NLO events. In the same way, boson spin information which is missing for most di-boson channels...
