AMEGIC++ 1.0, A Matrix Element Generator In C++
8 Pith papers cite this work. Polarity classification is still indexing.
abstract
The new matrix element generator AMEGIC++ is introduced, dedicated to describe multi-particle production in high energy particle collisions. It automatically generates helicity amplitudes for the processes under consideration and constructs suitable, efficient integration channels for the multi-channel phase space integration. The corresponding expressions for the amplitudes and the integrators are stored in library files to be linked to the main program.

First automated MC@NLO matching of NLO QCD+EW to an interleaved QCD+QED parton shower with resonance-aware dipole subtraction, validated for Drell-Yan lepton-pair production.
A reweighting method is introduced to efficiently study and tune MPI and CR parameter variations in Sherpa using relative weights, demonstrated with LHC and Tevatron data.
Resummed predictions for b-jet angularities including finite-mass effects and non-perturbative corrections are computed and compared to light-flavour jets.
A framework based on the YFS theorem enables process-independent local IR subtraction and resummation matching for automated NNLO_EW calculations in lepton collider processes.
Systematic comparison of three event generators shows they describe photoproduction data adequately, with PYTHIA and SHERPA performing best, and identifies photon PDF refits plus RIVET measurements as prerequisites for EIC precision.
Reviews selected challenges in Monte Carlo event generators for future lepton colliders including electroweak corrections, initial-state radiation, beam dynamics, perturbative QCD and non-perturbative modelling.
A primer by six leading developers maps the full Monte Carlo chain (matrix elements, parton showers, hadronisation, detector simulation, tuning, analysis) and the computing and reproducibility issues that come with it.
