Automated event generation for loop-induced processes
@article{Hirschi2015AutomatedEG, title={Automated event generation for loop-induced processes}, author={Valentin Hirschi and Olivier Mattelaer}, journal={Journal of High Energy Physics}, year={2015}, volume={2015}, pages={1-34} }
A bstractWe present the first fully automated implementation of cross-section computation and event generation for loop-induced processes. This work is integrated in the MadGraph5_aMC@NLO framework. We describe the optimisations implemented at the level of the matrix element evaluation, phase space integration and event generation allowing for the simulation of large multiplicity loop-induced processes. Along with some selected differential observables, we illustrate our results with a table…
