Lhcb Detector

While the LHCb detector was specifically designed for measuring heavy-flavor physics, it has also proven itself as a forward general purpose detector with flexible data acquisition, excellent lifetime resolution and charged particle identification. This makes LHCb an ideal laboratory for exploring phenomena related to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), particularly with heavy-flavor content. This review explores some of the novel QCD measurements from LHCb, with an emphasis placed on comparisons to predictions from the Pythia 8 Monte Carlo event generator.

Sherpa is a general-purpose Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of particle collisions in high-energy collider experiments. We summarise essential features and improvements of the Sherpa 2.2 release series, which is heavily used for event generation in the analysis and interpretation of LHC Run 1 and Run 2 data. We highlight a decade of developments towards ever higher precision in the simulation of particle-collision events.

AbstractWe present a model for generating spacetime coordinates in the Monte Carlo event generator Herwig 7, and perform colour reconnection by minimizing a boost-invariant distance measure of the system. We compare the model to a series of soft physics observables. We find reasonable agreement with the data, suggesting that pp-collider colour reconnection may be able to be applied in larger systems.

Experimental Data Analysis

The HADES collaboration studied dielectron production in C + C , p + p , and d + p reactions, with the main goal to investigate properties of vectors mesons through their dielectron decay. Production of e+e- pairs in Ar + KCl collisions at a beam energy of 1.756 A GeV was measured recently by the collaboration and preliminary results of the experimental data analysis will be reported. Pair spectra will be compared with a prediction of a thermal model based on the Monte Carlo event generator Pluto.
