HERWIRI1.0: MC Realization of IR-Improved DGLAP-CS Parton Showers
arXiv:0906.0788 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2010.02.007
Abstract
We present Monte Carlo data showing the comparison between the parton shower generated by the standard DGLAP-CS kernels and that generated with the new IR-improved DGLAP-CS kernels recently developed by one of us(BFLW). We do this in the context of HERWIG6.5 by implementing the new kernels therein to generate a new MC, HERWIRI1.0, for hadron-hadron interactions at high energies. We discuss possible phenomenological implications for precision LHC theory. We also present comparisons with FNAL data.
