3. Recursive Soft Drop

Frederic Alexandre Dreyer (MIT)

06/04/2017, 11:30

We introduce a new jet substructure method based on a recursive
iteration of the Soft Drop algorithm. The recursive soft drop
algorithm introduces an additional parameter N to define the
number of layers of soft drop declustering, providing an
optimized grooming strategy for boosted objects with (N+1)-prong
decays, as well as improved stability in high pileup
conditions. We discuss the...

6. NLO+PS gg→ZZ→e+e−μ+μ− production with POWHEG

Simone Alioli (CERN)

06/04/2017, 12:00

I will present a calculation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the hadroproduction process gg→ZZ→e+e−μ+μ−, matched to the parton shower in the POWHEG framework.
