NLO QCD matrix elements + parton showers in e+e− → hadrons (2013)
Journal Article
Gehrmann, T., Höche, S., Krauss, F., Schönherr, M., & Siegert, F. (2013). NLO QCD matrix elements + parton showers in e+e− → hadrons. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2013(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep01%282013%29144

We present a new approach to combine multiple NLO parton-level calculations matched to parton showers into a single inclusive event sample. The method provides a description of hard multi-jet configurations at next-to leading order in the perturbativ... Read More about NLO QCD matrix elements + parton showers in e+e− → hadrons.

Alcaraz Maestre, J., Heinrich, G., Huston, J., Krauss, F., Maitre, D., Nurse, E., Pittau, R., Alioli, S., Andersen, J., Ball, R., Buckley, A., Cacciari, M., Campanario, F., Chanon, N., Chachamis, G., Ciulli, V., Cossutti, F., Cullen, G., Denner, A., Dittmaier, S., …Zapp, K. (2012, March). The SM and NLO Multileg and SM MC Working Groups: Summary Report. Presented at 7th Les Houches Workshop on Physics at TeV Colliders, Les Houches, France

The 2011 Les Houches workshop was the first to confront LHC data. In the two years since the previous workshop there have been significant advances in both soft and hard QCD, particularly in the areas of multi-leg NLO calculations, the inclusion of t...

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.

Next-to-leading order matrix elements and truncated showers (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hoche, S., Krauss, F., Schonherr, M., & Siegert, F. (2010, December). Next-to-leading order matrix elements and truncated showers. Presented at 5th Conference, PLHC2010, Hamburg, Germany

An algorithm is presented that combines the ME+PS approach to merge sequences of tree-level matrix elements into inclusive event samples with the POWHEG method, which combines exact next-to-leading order matrix elements with parton showers. The quali... Read More about Next-to-leading order matrix elements and truncated showers.
