Conclusion: MC Integration Further discussions
MC Event Generator, 徐庆君 4 Introduction: MC Integration vs. Simulation For an integral: MC Integration MC Simulation Use approximationInstead of, following steps of MC Integration, events are saved for future use Calculate weight Events are accepted ifW is the maximum weight, Otherwise we reject them. Statistical error Rejection density
MC Event Generator, 徐庆君 5 Introduction MC Event Generator QCDQED New Physics PHOTOS MC Event Generator PHOTOS is used to simulate QED effects in decays It is widely used (LEP. LHC, DESY, KEK, SLAC, BEPC, BELLE, BARBAR) and has 300+ citations PHOTOS can be combined with other main process generators Process independent kernel is used in PHOTOS Systematic error needs to be controlled process by process
MC Event Generator, 徐庆君 6 PHOTOS MC: simulate QED effects Using Feynman rules, calculate Calculate virtual QED corrections Calculate soft and collinear photon contribution ++ free of IR and collinear divergences = Calculate non-collinear photon contribution, add corrections of virtual and real photon together, we get one-loop level result Normal way to study QED radiative correction (1 +)+ non-collinea r
MC Event Generator, 徐庆君 7 PHOTOS MC: simulate QED effects PHOTOS MC simulates hard photon emission from final states A process independent kernel is used instead of exact matrix element, it satisfies: in soft and collinear limits, Lim = =remaining part+ Phase space is exact, factorized into Born level Amplitude and phase space Process independent kernel and exact phase space Events (suppose to be events with and without hard photon) Events with hard photon Affects the precision
MC Event Generator, 徐庆君 8 PHOTOS MC : study the precision How to increase the precision (important for exp. systematic error ) Write it into two parts, one is same as the kernel in PHOTOS, another is remaining part (it is small normally). The remaining part is process dependent and decide the precision of PHOTOS Compareresults using Consist, OK Not consist, Should the remaining part be considered at two-loop order? Calculate QED corrections, implement it into PHOTOS Study the amplitude of hard photon emission help to build other generators 1.Increase the precision of PHOTOS 2. find the similarity of processes in different theory framework (QCD, QED, Scalar QED) Study the underlying theory
MC Event Generator, 徐庆君 9 Status of PHOTOS MC Original references QED, Scalar QED decay processes in PHOTOS At this moment PHOTOS kernel is a very good approximation. Multi-photon emission can be simulated. G. Nanava, Qingjun Xu and Z. Was, arXiv: [hep-ph] Qingjun Xu and Z. Was, arXiv: [hep-ph] At work decay
