Combining PS + FO
Tree-level + PS
◮ Tree-level (LO) gives decent description of multi-jet structure
◮ NLO gives good normalisation
◮ Parton-shower gives good behaviour in soft-collinear regions andfully exclusive final state.
Can we combine the advantages of all three?

Tree-level + PSDifficulties in merging Tree-level(s) + PS?
Suppose you ask for Z+jet as your initial hard process inPythia/Herwig.
◮ They contain the correct ME for Z+j.
◮ But you want Z+2j to be correct too.
Naive approach: you could also generate Z+2j events with Alpgen (orMadgraph, etc.) and run the shower from those configurations too.

Combining PS + FO
Tree-level + PSMerging procedures
ME + PS merging is an attempt to solve this. There are many variants.One common one is “MLM matching” — a summary of it is:
◮ Introduce a cutoff QME
◮ Use the matrix elements to generate tree-level events for Z+1parton,Z+2partons, . . . Z+Npartons, where all partons must have pt > QME ,and are separated from the others by some angle RME .
Numbers of events are in proportion to their cross sections with these cuts
◮ Take one of these tree level events, say with n-partons.
◮ Shower it with your favourite Parton Shower program.
◮ Identify all jets that have pt > Qmerge (chosen & QME )
◮ If each parton corresponds to one of the jets (≡ is nearby in angle) andthere are no extra jets above scale Qmerge , accept the event.
[Replace Qmerge → ptn if n = N ]◮ Otherwise reject it.
NB: MLM stands for Michelangelo L. Mangano

◮ Rejection procedure eliminates “double-counted” jets from parton shower

Tree-level + PSMerging – other schemes
MLM is the standard merging available from Alpgen
There are several other merging procedures on the market
◮ MLM a la MadGraph Mainly changes details of jet finding
◮ CKKW e.g. in Sherpa
◮ CKKW-L e.g. in Ariadne
◮ Pseudo Shower by Mrenna
They vary essentially in whether/how they match partons & jets, thedefinitions of the jets, and some include analytic Sudakov form factors (e.g.CKKW).
They all involve some implicit form of pt cutoff.Usually physics well above cutoff is independent of cutoff?

Rather non-trivial – requires deep understanding of MC
◮ Calculate differences wrt true O (αs) both in real and virtual pieces
◮ If your Monte Carlo gives correct soft and/or collinear limits, thosedifferences are finite
◮ Generate extra partonic configurations with phase-space distributionsproportional to those differences and shower them

◮ Write a simplified Monte Carlo that generates just one emission (thehardest one) which alone gives the correct NLO result.
Essentially uses special Sudakov
∆(kt) = exp(−∫
exact real-radition probability above kt)
◮ Lets your default parton-shower do branchings below that kt .
Processes include
pp → Heavy-quark pair, Higgs, single vector-bosonAlioli, Frixione, Nason, Oleari, Re ’07–08
pp → W ′, e+e− → tt Papaefstathiou, Latunde-Dada

Combining PS + FO
NLO + PSSummary of merging/matching
◮ You can merge many different tree-levels (Z+1, Z+2, Z+3, . . . ) withparton showering together into a consistent sample.
Shapes should be OK, normalisation is rather uncertain
Procedures are flexible and general — but not necessarily the final word
◮ You can merge NLO accuracy with parton showers for simple processes(at most one light jet — single top case)
Two main methods: MC@NLO / POWHEG
It is hard theory work — must be done on a case by case basis
◮ Incorporation of different multiplicities (Z+1, Z+2, Z+3, . . . )consistently at NLO for each multiplicity, together with parton showering,is a current research problem.

Jets
We’ve completed our tour of predictive methods in collider QCD
(LO, NLO, NNLO; parton showers; mergings and matchings)
The last topic of these lectures is jets
They’ve already arisen in various contexts; now look at them in detail

Jets There is no unique jet definition
The construction of a jet is unavoidably ambiguous. On at least two fronts:
1. which particles get put together into a common jet? Jet algorithm
+ parameters, e.g. jet angular radius R
2. how do you combine their momenta? Recombination scheme
Most commonly used: direct 4-vector sums (E -scheme)
Taken together, these different elements specify a choice of jetdefinition cf. Les Houches ’07 nomenclature accord
Ambiguity complicates life,but gives flexibility in one’s view of events
→ Jets non-trivial!

Sequential recomb.kt/Durham algorithm
Majority of QCD branching is soft & collinear, with following divergences:
[dkj ]|M2g→gigj
(kj )| ≃2αsCA
π
dEj
min(Ei ,Ej )
dθij
θij, (Ej ≪ Ei , θij ≪ 1) .
To invert branching process, take pair with strongest divergence betweenthem — they’re the most likely to belong together.
This is basis of kt/Durham algorithm (e+e−):
1. Calculate (or update) distances between all particles i and j :
yij =2min(E 2
i ,E 2j )(1 − cos θij)
Q2
NB: relative kt between particles2. Find smallest of yij
◮ If > ycut , stop clustering◮ Otherwise recombine i and j , and repeat from step 1

There is plenty more choice for (IR safe) jet finding(4 good algs are Cam/Aachen, anti-kt, SISCone and kt)
Do all you can to avoid IR unsafe jet algorithms(ATLAS iterative cone, CMS iterative cone, etc.).
Think about the choice of parameters in your jet definition
(what radius for what problem?)

ConesAn example
Searching for high-pt (boosted) heavy particles, such as aHiggs boson.
Because LHC will have√
s ≫ mH , highly boosted Higgses,
ptH ≫ mH , are not so rare.
The boost factor collimates the Higgs decay into a singlejet. Can we still identify it?
