Monte Carlo Simulations for NLO Chargino Production at the ILC

TL;DR

This paper extends a Monte Carlo event generator to include next-to-leading order chargino production at the ILC, incorporating photon effects with fixed order and resummation methods, providing improved cross section calculations.

Contribution

The paper introduces an NLO extension of Whizard for chargino production at the ILC, including photon effects with both fixed order and resummation techniques.

Findings

Cross section results for both methods

Event generation capabilities demonstrated

Resummation includes leading higher order corrections

Abstract

We present an extension of the Monte Carlo Event Generator Whizard which includes chargino production at the ILC at NLO. We include photons using both a fixed order and a resummation approach. In the latter, leading higher order corrections are automatically included. We present results for cross sections and event generation for both methods.
