65. A New Biasing Method for Variance Reduction of Compton Events in GEANT4

Mr Sunil Kumar (Panjab University (IN))

05/09/2019, 15:30

In this talk, we present a new biasing method which is used to reduce the variance of low and high angle Compton scattered events from a pencil beam of X-rays interacting with a sample. The method is used to provide more accurate scatter kernels at lower computational cost than is achievable using standard GEANT4 biasing methods.
A scatter kernel is the point spread function described by the...

64. High Energy resummation for Higgs plus dijets

Marian Heil (IPPP, Durham)

Higgs boson production in association with two jets is an interesting process to measure the Higgs to weak-boson coupling (WBF). However at the LHC the inclusive production of Hjj is dominated by the gluon fusion component, where the Higgs boson couples to the gluon via a top loop. The gluon fusion component is typically reduced by cuts requiring a large invariant dijet mass. Such mass cuts...

68. Uncertainties in NLO Merging Schemes

Leif Gellersen (Lund University)

05/09/2019, 16:10

Uncertainties in NLO calculations are often estimated by variations of
the renormalization scale. The same can be done in parton showers. I
talk about the consistent treatment of renormaliztion scale variations
in the unitary merging of NLO matrix element calculations and parton
showers. Furthermore, I discuss some freedom in reweighting NLO
corrections and compare different unitary...
