EW NLO corrections Loop-induced processes example applications reweighting NLO in DGLAP evolution Parton shower accuracy

inclusion of electroweak corrections in simulation

incorporate approximate electroweak corrections in MEPS@NLO

1 using electroweak Sudakov factors

Bn(Φn) ≈ Bn(Φn) ∆EW(Φn)

2 using virtual corrections and approx. integrated real corrections

Bn(Φn) ≈ Bn(Φn) + Vn,EW(Φn) + In,EW(Φn) + Bn,mix(Φn)

real QED radiation can be recovered through standard tools(parton shower, YFS resummation)

simple stand-in for proper QCD⊕EW matching and merging→ validated at fixed order, found to be reliable,→ difference . 5% for observables not driven by real radiation

how to assess formal precision?

PS proven to be NLL accurate for simple observables, providedCatani,Marchesini,Webber, NPB349(1991)635

soft double-counting removed (↗ before) and2-loop cusp anomalous dimension included

not entirely clear what this means numerically, because

parton shower is momentum conserving, NLL is notparton shower is unitary, NLL approximations break this

differences can be quantified by

designing an MC that reproduces NLL exactlyremoving NLL approximations one-by-one

employ well-established NLL result as an example

observable: Thrust in e+e− →hadronsmethod: Caesar Banfi,Salam,Zanderighi, hep-ph/0407286

this discussion is technical, but it is needed to showthat equivalence at NLL does not mean identical numerics

ioTuned comparison of differences between formally equivalentcalculations

Simplest process and simplest observable, but still large differences

Origin of differences traced to treatment of kinematics & unitarity

At NLL accuracy, none of the methods is formally superior→ Difference is a systematic uncertainty & needs to be kept in mind
