  19. 10. Photon-photon interactions in e+e- collisions with Pythia 8
    Dr Ilkka Helenius (Tübingen University)
    24/11/2016, 16:30

    Photon-photon interactions arising from the photons emitted by high-energy leptons will generate inevitable background processes for future electron-positron colliders. Therefore means to accurately simulate these interactions are required in order to study the realistic physics potential of these future experiments. We have been working on an implementation of these interactions into Pythia 8...

  20. 1. Thermodynamical String Fragmentation
    Nadine Fischer (Monash University)
    24/11/2016, 16:45

    We study a few possible modifications to the Pythia string fragmentation: a new model for generating the transverse momentum of hadrons, inspired by thermodynamics, the effect of close-packing of strings, and a simple model for hadron rescattering. We present the modified predictions and compare to data as well as to default Pythia.

  22. 12. Top tagging with deep neural networks
    Michael Russell (University of Glasgow)
    25/11/2016, 09:00

    The identification of so-called 'boosted' objects; heavy particles whose decay products are highly collimated in the detector, is now a standard part of the event reconstruction toolbox at the LHC. Several QCD-inspired methods that exploit the different signatures between heavy particle decays and soft QCD backgrounds are now well-established. An intriguing new paradigm; 'Jet Images', has...

  24. 2. A framework for second-order parton showers
    Haitao Li (Monash)
    25/11/2016, 09:30

    A framework is presented for including second-order perturbative corrections to the radiation patterns of parton showers. The formalism allows to combine $O(\alpha_s^2)$-corrected iterated 2$\to$3 kernels for "ordered" gluon emissions with tree-level 2$\to$4 kernels for "unordered" ones. The combined Sudakov evolution kernel is thus accurate to $O(\alpha_s^2)$. As a first step towards a...

  25. 7. NLO QCD and EW calculations with Recola and Sherpa
    Jennifer Thompson (Durham University)
    25/11/2016, 09:45

    Precision in Monte Carlo predictions is becoming increasingly important as experiments continually improve. One key way this is achieved in Monte Carlo event simulations is to include the higher-order effects from perturbation theory in the matrix element calculation. This has been completed at NLO QCD, and progress is already being made into NNLO QCD automation. At this level of precision,...
