Event generator for the single- and double-photon emission associated with neutrino pair-production

A new event generator is proposed for two processes e+e- -> nu nu-bar gamma and e+e- -> nu nu-bar gamma gamma where nu includes all the neutrino species. The exact matrix elements of single- and double-photon emission, generated by the GRACE system, are convoluted with the QED parton shower(QEDPS) to deal with the initial state radiations(ISR). It is pointed out that a careful treatment is required to avoid the double counting of the radiative photons between the matrix elements and the ISR part. A detailed comparison of grc-nu-nu-gamma with the O(alpha) calculations and other similar Monte Carlo generators is discussed on the total cross section and on various distributions. It is also examined how the possible effects of the anomalous triple-gauge-boson couplings can be observed.

Implementation of the Non-Linear Gauge into GRACE

A general non-linear gauge condition is implemented into GRACE, an automated system for the calculation of physical processes in high-energy physics. This new gauge-fixing is used as a very efficient means to check the results of large scale evaluation in the standard model computed automatically. We report on some systematic test-runs which have been performed for one-loop two-to-two processes to show the validity of the gauge check.

susy23 v2.0: an Event Generator for Supersymmetric Processes at $e^+e^-$ Colliders

\susy23 is a Monte-Carlo package for generating supersymmetric (SUSY) processes at $e^+e^-$ colliders. Twenty-three types of SUSY processes with 2 or 3 final state particles at tree level are included in version 2.0. {\susy23} addresses event simulation requirements at $e^+e^-$ colliders such as LEP. Matrix elements are generated by GRACE with the helicity amplitude method for processes involving massive fermions. The phase space integration of the matrix element gives the total and differential cross sections, then unweighted events are generated. Sparticle widths and decay branching ratios are calculated. Each final state particle may then decay according to these probabilities. Spin correlations are taken into account in the decays of sparticles. Corrections of initial state radiation (ISR) are implemented in two ways, one is based on the electron structure function formalism and the second uses the parton shower algorithm called QEDPS. Parton shower and hadronization of the final quarks are performed through an interface to JETSET.

Automatic Calculation of Complete $O(α)$ Corrections to $e^+e^- \to W^+μ\barν_μ$

Using the automatic system GRACE-LOOP, the full $O(α)$ electroweak corrections has been calculated for the process $e^+e^- \to W^+μ\barν_μ$. The total correction to the cross section is found to be typically -6.4% at $\sqrt{s}=190$ GeV with $10^\circ$ cut on the muon angle from the beam, including the correction from the hard photon emission. It is observed that the correction is rather sensitive to the physical parameters. With the same conditions the correction corresponding to the real W-boson pair is -4.1% and hence the deviation is not negligible.

grc4f v1.0: a Four-fermion Event Generator for e+e- Collisions

grc4f is a Monte-Carlo package for generating e+e- to 4-fermion processes in the standard model. All of the 76 LEP-2 allowed fermionic final state processes evaluated at tree level are included in version 1.0. grc4f addresses event simulation requirements at e+e- colliders such as LEP and up-coming linear colliders. Most of the attractive aspects of grc4f come from its link to the GRACE system: a Feynman diagram automatic computation system. The GRACE system has been used to produce the computational code for all final states, giving a higher level of confidence in the calculation correctness. Based on the helicity amplitude calculation technique, all fermion masses can be kept finite and helicity information can be propagated down to the final state particles. The phase space integration of the matrix element gives the total and differential cross sections, then unweighted events are Generated. Initial state radiation (ISR) corrections are implemented in two ways, one is based on the electron structure function formalism and the second uses the parton shower algorithm called QEDPS. The latter can also be applied for final state radiation (FSR) though the interference with the ISR is not yet taken into account. Parton shower and hadronization of the final quarks are performed through an interface to JETSET. Coulomb correction between two intermediate W's, anomalous coupling as well as gluon contributions in the hadronic processes are also included.

Improved QEDPS for Radiative Corrections in e+e- Annihilation

The generator QEDPS, a parton shower model in QED, developed by the present authors has been improved. By a careful study on the shower algorithm it was found that some finite contributions have been missed in the original version. They are small, but cannot be neglected when the contribution of the soft photons is dominant. A method is presented to correct these finite pieces and then a new generator, improved QEDPS, is proposed, which is able to make more precise prediction for the processes observed in e+e- annihilation as far as the initial radiation is concerned.

Test of QEDPS: A Monte Carlo for the hard photon distributions in e+ e- annihilation proecss

The validity of a photon shower generator QEDPS has been examined in detail. This is formulated based on the leading-logarithmic renormalization equation for the electron structure function and it provides a photon shower along the initial e+-. The main interest in the present work is to test the reliability of the generator to describe a process accompanying hard photons which are detected. For this purpose, by taking the HZ production as the basic reaction, the total cross section and some distributions of the hard photons are compared between two cases that these photons come from either those generated by QEDPS or the hard process e+e- -> H Z gamma gamma. The comparison performed for the single and the double hard photon has shown a satisfactory agreement which demonstrated that the model is self-consistent.

Non-resonant diagrams in radiative four-fermion processes

The complete tree level cross section for $e^+e^- \to e^- \barν_e u \bar{d} γ$ is computed and discussed in comparison with the cross sections for $e^+e^- \to e^- \barν_e u \bar{d} $ and $e^+e^- \to \bar{u} d u \bar{d}$. Event generators based on the GRACE package for the non-radiative and radiative case are presented. Special interest is brought to the effect of the non-resonant diagrams overlooked so far in other studies. Their contribution to the total cross section is presented for the LEP II energy range and for future linear colliders ($\sqrt s$ =500 GeV). Effects, at the W pair threshold, of order 3\% ($e^- \barν_e u \bar{d}$) and 27\% ($\bar{u} d u \bar{d}$) are reported. Similar behaviour for the radiative case is shown. At $\sqrt s$ = 500 GeV, the relative contribution of the non-resonant diagrams for the radiative channel reaches 42.5\%.

Jets in photon-photon collisions: from TRISTAN to J/N-LC

We study jet production in photon-photon reactions at the next-to-leading logarithm accuracy. Special emphasis is placed on the discussion of the theoretical uncertainties and on the role of the hadronic component of the photon structure function. We also discuss subtleties in the quasi-real photon spectrum when the photon is involved in a large transverse momentum reaction. The phenomenology at TRISTAN energies is discussed and predictions are made for LEP and a $1\ TeV$ \epem collider.

Monte Carlo Approach to Radiative Corrections in Bhabha Scattering

A new Monte Carlo model is proposed for radiative corrections to Bhabha scattering by extending QEDPS developed for multi-photon emission in muon pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. This is the QED version of the model known as parton shower in QCD. The main difference between muon pair production and Bhabha scattering is that the latter cross section shows the singularity of $1/t^2$. A shower algorithm is constructed on the radiator formalism modified in a suitable form for this singularity. Some results of the model are presented and compared with $O(α)$ corrections.
