MC@NLO for Heavy Quarks in Photoproduction
Tobias Toll (Desy)
TL;DR
This paper introduces the first MC@NLO implementation for heavy quark photoproduction, combining NLO accuracy with parton shower simulations, and demonstrates its effectiveness compared to fixed order and HERWIG results.
Contribution
It presents the first MC@NLO framework for lepton-hadron processes, specifically heavy quark photoproduction, including the calculation of MC-subtraction terms.
Findings
The MC@NLO approach performs well against fixed order NLO calculations.
The method is successfully integrated with the HERWIG event generator.
It extends MC@NLO applicability to lepton-hadron processes.
Abstract
An MC@NLO for heavy quarks in photoproduction is presented. This is the first lepton-hadron process to be included into MC@NLO. To construct an MC@NLO process dependent so called MC-subtraction terms need to be calculated. The resulting calculation is compared to a fixed order NLO calculation and the HERWIG event generator and is shown to perform well.
