Multi-leg precision calculations and advanced phenomenology in the LHC era

Final Report Summary - MULTI-LEG@LHC (Multi-leg precision calculations and advanced phenomenology in the LHC era.)

In this project, we aimed at performing phenomenology studies of processes relevant for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, in Geneva and at contributing to:

1) The ATLAS and CMS Higgs Physics Programs
2) The ATLAS and CMS Exotics and SM Physic Programs
3) The ATLAS and CMS Top Physic Program

In detail, the planned milestones scheduled were

Two public software downloadables have been provided with the aim to enlarge the dissemination of the project results:

1) VBFNLO- release 2.7
J. Baglio, J. Bellm, F. Campanario, B. Feigl, J. Frank, T. Figy, M. Kerner, L.D. Ninh et al..
arXiv:1404.3940 [hep-ph].

In this program all of the WVjj QCD induced processes as well as the Wgammajj EW induced has been incorporated to the VBFNLO Monte Carlo program. The new release is found under:

http://www.itp.kit.edu/~vbfnloweb/wiki/doku.php?id=download:vbfnlo

2) PHOKHARA9.0
In this program, the implementation of the process e+e ->mu++mu-gamma, published with the scientific on charge, has been carried out. It is available via:

http://ific.uv.es/~rodrigo/phokhara/

Additionally, four private or semi-public programs have been created. The first, available via Internet, the lasts under request:

3) HJets
In this program, the processes Higgs + 2 jets and Higgs +3 jets via vector boson fusion at NLO QCD has been implemented. It is available under request via:

http://hjets.hepforge.org/

4) VBFNLO+LOOPSIM.
A personal version of the program VBFNLO has been created to be able to use it together with LOOPSIM to produce beyond NLO QCD results. This program is available under request and, indeed, the fellow has handed the program to two experimental groups, in particular to Ph.D students of Joy Huston and Reisaburo Tanaka.

5) Wgamma jj.
Before the release of VBFNLO version 2.7. A private version was handed to several experimental groups. e.g to Zhijun Liang of Oxford, who is the present coordinator of the LHC EWK diboson/TGC subgroup.

6) Zgamma jj.
A private version was handed to several experimental groups. e.g to Prof Qiand Liang (CMS) and Zhijun Liang (ATLAS)
