In this contribution the new event generation framework SHERPA will be presented, which aims at a full simulation of events at current and future high-energy experiments. Some first results related to the production of weak vector bosons in association with jets at the Tevatron and the LHC will be discussed.
Some results highlighting the status of a new version of a cluster fragmentation model for the Monte Carlo event generator Sherpa are presented. In its present version this model is capable of simulating e+e- annihilation events into light-quark and gluon jets. We compare results for different multiplicity and momentum distributions to available SLD and LEP data as well as to results obtained with Herwig and Pythia.
In this contribution the new event generation framework SHERPA will be presented, which aims at a full simulation of events at current and future high-energy experiments. Some first results exemplify its capabilities.
In this contribution the matrix element generator AMEGIC++ will be presented. It automatically generates Feynman diagrams, helicity amplitudes, and suitable phase space mappings for processes involving multi-particle final states within the Standard Model and some of its popular extensions.
Event generators are an indispensable tool for the preparation and analysis of particle-physics experiments. In this contribution, physics principles underlying the construction of such computer programs are discussed. Results, within and beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, obtained with a new event generator are presented. This generator is capable to describe signal processes for exotic physics and their backgrounds at electron-positron and proton-(anti)proton colliders.
In this paper total cross sections for signals and backgrounds of top- and Higgs-production channels in electron-positron collisions at a future linear collider are presented. All channels considered are characterized by the emergence of six-particle final states. The calculation takes into account the full set of tree-level amplitudes in each process. Two multi-purpose parton level generators, HELAC/PHEGAS and AMEGIC++ are used, their results are found to be in perfect agreement.
The new multipurpose event-generation framework SHERPA, acronym for Simulation for High-Energy Reactions of PArticles, is presented. It is entirely written in the object-oriented programming language C++. In its current form, it is able to completely simulate electron--positron and unresolved photon--photon collisions at high energies. Also, fully hadronic collisions, such as, e.g., proton--anti-proton, proton--proton, or resolved photon--photon reactions, can be described on the signal level.
We develop the helicity formalism for spin-2 particles and apply it to the case of gravity in flat extra dimensions. We then implement the large extra dimensions scenario of Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali in the program AMEGIC++, allowing for an easy calculation of arbitrary processes involving the emission or exchange of gravitons. We complete the set of Feynman rules derived by Han, Lykken and Zhang, and perform several consistency checks of our implementation.
