  4. Orientation ME corrections MC@NLO CKKW New Showers Underlying Event Today’s lecture: Higher Orders in Monte Carlos Which higher orders? Some anatomy First attempts: ME corrections Higher orders in rate: MC@NLO Higher orders through extra emission: Merging A new shower formulation F. Krauss IPPP Monte Carlo Tools

  5. Orientation ME corrections MC@NLO CKKW New Showers Underlying Event Higher Orders Nomenclature Specifying higher-order corrections: γ ∗ → hadrons In general: N n LO ↔ O ( α n s ) But: only for inclusive quantities (e.g.: total xsecs like γ ∗ → hadrons) . Counter-example: thrust distribution In general, distributions are HO. Distinguish real & virtual emissions: Real emissions → mainly distributions, virtual emissions → mainly normalization. F. Krauss IPPP Monte Carlo Tools

  6. Orientation ME corrections MC@NLO CKKW New Showers Underlying Event Higher Orders Nomenclature Anatomy of HO calculations: Virtual and real corrections NLO corrections: O ( α s ) Virtual corrections = extra loops Real corrections = extra legs UV-divergences in virtual graphs → renormalization But also: IR-divergences in real & virtual contributions Must cancel each other, non-trivial to see: N vs. N + 1 particle FS, divergence in PS vs. loop F.

Orientation ME corrections MC@NLO CKKW New Showers Underlying Event Higher Orders Nomenclature Cancelling the IR divergences: Subtraction method Total NLO xsec: � d D k |M| 2 � d 4 k |M| 2 σ NLO = σ Born + V + R IR div. in real piece → regularize: d 4 k |M| 2 d D k |M| 2 � � R → R Construct subtraction term with same IR structure: d D k ( |M| 2 R − |M| 2 d 4 k |M| 2 � � S ) = RS = finite. d D k | ˜ S| 2 , universal | ˜ � d D k |M| 2 � S| 2 . Possible: S = σ Born S| 2 = finite (analytical) d D k | ˜ � d D k |M| 2 � V + σ Born F. Krauss IPPP Monte Carlo Tools
