One important aspect of single top-quark production is the sensitivity to non-SM couplings of the Wtb vertex. It provides direct extraction of the magnitude of Vtb matrix element of the CKM matrix by just measuring its cross-section. Among all modes of single top-quark production, only the associated production of single top quark with W boson (tW-channel) provides the real W boson. However,...

Overview of the current state of V+jets and heavy flavour production modelling and measurement at the LHC by the ATLAS detector. An overview of the MC generators and setups currently used by ATLAS, discussion of their performance compared to existing data and an outline of future measurements planned or in progress. In addition, a specific look at heavy flavour production modelling, the...

Pythia8 is currently being updated with new descriptions of the total and elastic cross sections. An introduction to the framework will be given along with a presentation of the different parametrizations used. Similar updates are planned for the diffractive framework and will be discussed here as well along with a presentation of the new framework for hard diffraction, already available in Pythia8.

Abstract: Due to the need of high statistics in case of certain high energy physics processes, CPU time used by Monte Carlo event generators grow and parallelization of the event production runs is necessary. Herwig-Parallel patches Rivet 2.4.0 to ensure proper statistical handling of multiple output of parallel runs and its merging. The patch is based on former work made by Daniel Rauch.
