A Positive-Weight Next-to-Leading-Order Monte Carlo Simulation of Deep Inelastic Scattering and Higgs Boson Production via Vector Boson Fusion in Herwig++ (2012)
Journal Article
D'Errico, L., & Richardson, P. (2012). A Positive-Weight Next-to-Leading-Order Monte Carlo Simulation of Deep Inelastic Scattering and Higgs Boson Production via Vector Boson Fusion in Herwig++. The European Physical Journal C, 72(6), Article 2042. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-012-2042-x

The positive weight next-to-leading-order matching formalism (POWHEG) is applied to Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) and the related Higgs boson production via vector–boson fusion process in the Herwig++ Monte Carlo event generator. This scheme combin... Read More about A Positive-Weight Next-to-Leading-Order Monte Carlo Simulation of Deep Inelastic Scattering and Higgs Boson Production via Vector Boson Fusion in Herwig++.

Direct SUSY searches at the LHC in the light of LEP Higgs bounds (2012)
Journal Article
Grellscheid, D., Jaeckel, J., Khoze, V., Richardson, P., & Wymant, C. (2012). Direct SUSY searches at the LHC in the light of LEP Higgs bounds. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012(03), https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep03%282012%29078

In this note we compare the latest 1.04 fb−1 LHC searches for squarks and gluinos from jets and missing transverse momentum (MET) with constraints arising from the LEP Higgs bound. For General Gauge Mediation models with moderate values of tan(β) we... Read More about Direct SUSY searches at the LHC in the light of LEP Higgs bounds.

General-purpose event generators for LHC Physics (2011)
Journal Article
Buckley, A., Butterworth, J., Gieseke, S., Grellscheid, D., Hoche, S., Hoeth, H., …Webber, B. (2011). General-purpose event generators for LHC Physics. Physics Reports, 504(5), 145-233. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physrep.2011.03.005

We review the physics basis, main features and use of general-purpose Monte Carlo event generators for the simulation of proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Topics included are: the generation of hard scattering matrix elements for... Read More about General-purpose event generators for LHC Physics.

New Constraints on Gauge Mediation and Beyond from LHC SUSY Searches at 7 TeV (2011)
Journal Article
Dolan, M., Grellscheid, D., Jaeckel, J., Khoze, V., & Richardson, P. (2011). New Constraints on Gauge Mediation and Beyond from LHC SUSY Searches at 7 TeV. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011(06), https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep06%282011%29095

The first results from the LHC on jets plus missing energy provide powerful new data to test SUSY models. Initial theoretical interpretations of these data have concentrated on gravity mediation, usually the CMSSM and its variations. In this paper we...

Herwig++ Status Report (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bähr, M., Gieseke, S., Gigg, M., Grellscheid, D., Hamilton, K., Latunde-Dada, O., Plätzer, S., Richardson, P., Seymour, M., Sherstnev, A., Tully, J., & Webberd, B. (2009, March). Herwig++ Status Report. Presented at HERA and the LHC 2006 - 2008, Hamburg - Geneva

Herwig++ is the successor of the event generator HERWIG. In its present version 2.2.1 it provides a program for full LHC event generation which is superior to the previous program in many respects. We briefly summarize its features and describe prese... Read More about Herwig++ Status Report.

In this paper we describe Herwig++ version 2.2, a general-purpose Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of hard lepton-lepton and hadron-hadron collisions. A number of important hard scattering processes are available, together with an inter... Read More about Herwig++ Physics and Manual.

A Les Houches Interface for BSM Generators. (2008)
Report
Alwall, J., Boos, E., Dudko, L., Gigg, M., Herquet, M., Pukhov, A., …Skands, P. (2008). A Les Houches Interface for BSM Generators. USDOE

We propose to combine and slightly extend two existing 'Les Houches Accords' to provide a simple generic interface between beyond-the-standard-model parton-level and event-level generators. All relevant information--particle content, quantum numbers... Read More about A Les Houches Interface for BSM Generators..
