Professor Peter Richardson's Outputs (97)

A standard format for Les Houches event files. (2007)
Journal Article
Alwall, J., Ballestrero, A., Bartalini, P., Belov, S., Boos, E., Buckley, A., …Zeppenfeld, D. (2007). A standard format for Les Houches event files. Computer Physics Communications, 176(4), 300-304. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2006.11.010

A standard file format is proposed to store process and event information, primarily output from parton-level event generators for further use by general-purpose ones. The information content is identical with what was already defined by the Les Houc... Read More about A standard format for Les Houches event files..

Herwig++ 2.1 Release Note (2007)
Journal Article
Bahr, M., Gieseke, S., Gigg, M., Grellscheid, D., Hamilton, K., Latunde-Dada, O., Platzer, S., Richardson, P., Seymour, M., Sherstnev, A., & Webber, B. (online). Herwig++ 2.1 Release Note

A new release of the Monte Carlo program Herwig++ (version 2.1) is now available. This version includes a number of significant improvements including: an eikonal multiple parton-parton scattering model of the underlying event; the inclusion of Beyon... Read More about Herwig++ 2.1 Release Note.

Herwig++ 2.0 release note (2006)
Other
Gieseke, S., Grellscheid, D., Hamilton, K., Ribon, A., Richardson, P., Seymour, M., Stephens, P., & Webber, B. (2006). Herwig++ 2.0 release note

A new release of the Monte Carlo program Herwig++ (version 2.0) is now available. This is the first version of the program which can be used for hadron-hadron physics and includes the full simulation of both initial- and final-state QCD radiation.

Herwig++ 2.0 beta release note (2006)
Other
Gieseke, S., Grellscheid, D., Hamilton, K., Ribon, A., Richardson, P., Seymour, M., Stephens, P., & Webber, B. (2006). Herwig++ 2.0 beta release note

A new release of the Monte Carlo program Herwig++ (version 2.0) is now available. The main new feature is the extension of the program to include simple hadron-hadron processes including the initial-state parton shower.

A repository for beyond-the-standard-model tools (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Skands, P. Z., Richardson, P., Allanach, B. C., Baer, H., Belanger, G., El Kacimi, M., Ellwanger, U., Freitas, A., Ghodbane, N., Goujdami, D., Hahn, T., Heinemeyer, S., Kneur, J., Landsberg, G. L., Lee, J. S., Muhlleitner, M., Ohl, T., Perez, E., Peskin, M. E., Pilaftsis, A., …Tsuno, S. (2005, May). A repository for beyond-the-standard-model tools

To aid phenomenologicalstudies of Beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM)
physics scenarios, a web repository for BSM calculational tools has
been created. We here present brief overviews of the relevant codes,
ordered by topic as well as by alphabet. The... Read More about A repository for beyond-the-standard-model tools.

Split supersymmetry at colliders (2005)
Journal Article
Kilian, W., Plehn, T., Richardson, P., & Schmidt, E. (2005). Split supersymmetry at colliders. The European Physical Journal C, 39(2), 229-243. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s2004-02046-5

We consider the collider phenomenology of split-supersymmetry models. Despite the challenging nature of the signals in these models the long-lived gluino can be discovered with masses above 2 TeV at the LHC. At a future linear collider we will be abl...

Matching matrix elements and parton showers with HERWIG and PYTHIA (2004)
Journal Article
Mrenna, S., & Richardson, P. (2004). Matching matrix elements and parton showers with HERWIG and PYTHIA. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2004(05), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2004/05/040

We report on our exploration of matching matrix element calculations with the parton-shower models contained in the event generators HERWIG and Pythia. We describe results for e+e- collisions and for the hadroproduction of W bosons and Drell-Yan pair... Read More about Matching matrix elements and parton showers with HERWIG and PYTHIA.

CHARYBDIS: a black hole event generator (2003)
Journal Article
Harris, C., Richardson, P., & Webber, B. (2003). CHARYBDIS: a black hole event generator. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2003(08), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2003/08/033

CHARYBDIS is an event generator which simulates the production and decay of miniature black holes at hadronic colliders as might be possible in certain extra dimension models. It interfaces via the Les Houches accord to general purpose Monte Carlo pr... Read More about CHARYBDIS: a black hole event generator.
