57. Simulating Double Parton Scattering

Baptiste Cabouat (University of Manchester)

05/09/2019, 13:20

Presentation based on 1906.04669.

58. $W^{+}W^{-}$ pair production in $k_t$-factorisation in the SM and beyond

Dr Aidin Masouminia (IPPP, Durham)

05/09/2019, 13:40

In this talk, I will present a summary of our calculations for the production of $W^{+} W^{-}$ pairs through leptonic decay channels $W^+W^- \to l^+\nu_l + l^{\prime -} \nu_{l'}$ in the framework of $k_t$-factorization. The calculations are performed using the TMD-PDFs of KMR, in different kinematic setups and the results are compared against their counter-part collinear predictions (from...

61. Observables and status of heavy-ion physics

Ms Smita Chakraborty (Lund University)

05/09/2019, 14:00

We discuss observables present in the heavy-ion community today and the challenges associated with it for event generators, specifically for PYTHIA.

62. Hadronic rescattering in Pythia

Marius Utheim (Lund University)

05/09/2019, 14:20

We have developed a framework for hadronic rescattering in Pythia. Our goal is to study how rescattering can account for QGP-like effects such as flow, jet quenching, etc. In this presentation I will outline our algorithm and present some preliminary results.

69. Recoil and Kinematics in Parton Showers

Emma Simpson Dore (KIT)

05/09/2019, 14:40

I will talk about kinematic mapping for dipole parton showers and recoil mechanisms comparing local and global recoil and Herwig. I will also briefly discuss the extension of this to the two emission case.
