We present a parton shower which implements the DGLAP evolution of parton densities and fragmentation functions at next-to-leading order precision up to effects stemming from local four-momentum conservation. The Monte-Carlo simulation is based on in... Read More about Implementing NLO DGLAP evolution in parton showers.

LHC multijet events as a probe for anomalous dimension-six gluon interactions (2017)
Journal Article
Krauss, F., Kuttimalai, S., & Plehn, T. (2017). LHC multijet events as a probe for anomalous dimension-six gluon interactions. Physical Review D, 95(3), Article 035024. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.95.035024

Higher-dimensional multigluon interactions affect essentially all effective Lagrangian analyses at the LHC. We show that, contrary to common lore, such operators are best constrained in multijet production. Our limit on the corresponding new physics...

Simulating b-associated production of Z and Higgs bosons with the SHERPA event generator (2017)
Journal Article
Krauss, F., Napoletano, D., & Schumann, S. (2017). Simulating b-associated production of Z and Higgs bosons with the SHERPA event generator. Physical Review D, 95(3), Article 036012. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.95.036012

We compare four- and five-flavor scheme predictions for b-associated production of Z and Higgs bosons. The results are obtained with SHERPA ’s MC@NLO implementation for the four-flavor scheme, treating the b’s as massive, and with multijet merging at...
