PhantomBallestrero, Belhouari,Bevilacqua,E.M. • Dedicated event generator • Complete 2→6 O(α6)+O(α4αs2) • q1q2→f1f2 f3 f4 f5f6 O(α6)+O(α4αs2) gg → f1f2 f3 f4 f5f6, gq→gq f1f2 f3 f4, qq→gg f1f2 f3 f4, • Exact matrix elements. No production⊗decay or EVBA • Fast • One-shot: generates unweighted events for all processes simultaneously • Efficient: good mapping of phase-space q1q2→q1q2 q3 q4 lv covered in Phase1.0 Accomando,Ballestrero,E.M. hep-ph/0504009

  3. VVscattering Higgs top VV couplings

  4. An interesting example: 1046 diagrams It includes: • ZZ → W+W- Higgs → WW • ZW- → ZW- • W-Z → ZW- • W-W- → W-W- • W- → W-W+W- 2 Higgs → WW channels • W- → ZZW- Higgs → ZZ

  5. Adaptive integration (VEGAS) • Adapts well to cuts • Rough estimate of integrand shape usually enough • Fails if too many peaks or along diagonals • Multichannel • Requires a large number of channels • All channels are integrated over simultaneously • Sensitive to cuts, efficiency generally small • Adapts varying the channel relative weight • Iterative-Adaptive Multichannel NEW! (Phase+Phantom) Merges best feautures of both! • Adapts well to cuts • Rough estimate of integrand shape enough • Small number of channels required (Multimapping) • Channels are integrated separately • Good efficiency • Grid generation • Event generation: one shot Two steps:
