Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'As the Large Hadron Collider probes nature with unprecedented energies and luminosity it is vital to have accurate simulations which can be compared directly with data. This involves incorporating exact calculations at a fixed order in the perturbative expansion with the approximate calculations normally used in simulations of high energy collisions.
The PECULIJETS project will develop such simulations by concentrating on the accurate simulation of processes involving photons. These processes are important both in their own right and as the backgrounds to both the production of the Higgs boson and the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. They are an essential component as we strive for more and more accurate simulations, occurring at approximately the same rate as the second order corrections in the strong coupling and forming a vital part of the full higher order electroweak corrections.
The project will achieve this through: the development of state of the art simulations of the production of a photon in association with one or two jets at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the strong coupling constant (WP1); matching in the case that there are both electromagnetic and strong corrections, for example dijet production (WP2); improving multijet merging techniques using the high energy jets formalism, with particular emphasis on assessing the uncertainties involved in such approaches (WP3); incorporating both electromagnetic and strong radiation in multijet merging. All of these objectives build upon each other and will lead to a state-of-the-art simulation of processes involving both electromagnetic and strong corrections. The new simulations will be incorporated with the Herwig\ simulation package so that they can easily be used by the LHC experiments in their analyses and to compare our theoretical predictions and the latest experimental results.'
