Monte Carlo com- parisons in W channel Kristina Krylova Monte Carlo comparisons in W channel Kristina Krylova Univerisity of Michigan REU at CERN July 19, 2012 Overview Monte Carlo com- parisons in W channel Anomalous


  1. Monte Carlo com- parisons in W γγ channel Kristina Krylova Monte Carlo comparisons in W γγ channel Kristina Krylova Univerisity of Michigan REU at CERN July 19, 2012

  2. Overview Monte Carlo com- parisons in W γγ channel Anomalous quartic couplings with ATLAS detector Kristina W γγ channel with W decaying leptonically Krylova

  3. Recent Work Monte Carlo com- Work with Monte Carlo comparisons to get a feel for parisons in W γγ the process at matrix element level and at detector channel reconstruction level Kristina Krylova Looked at some basic kinematic variables like p T , ∆ R and mass VFBNLO used as a theory MC to understand NLO predictions AlpGen and Sherpa, both LO, but with parton showers and hadronizations to simulate the detector Comparison of AlpGen zero jets, one jet and two jets with each other Comparison of AlpGen up to 2 jets with Sherpa up to 2 jets

  4. p T of electron in GeV Monte Carlo com- parisons in W γγ channel Kristina Krylova
