  2. Outline Introduction Recent Development of PHOTOS MC PHOTOS MC Event Generator Summary and Outlook MC Event Generator, 徐庆君

  3. Introduction Further discussions MC Integration σ,Γ, Brand Distributions Theory Very Important!! Phenomenology Tell the experiment where to go MC Simulation with detector effects MC Events in 4-momentum Exp. Compare Events written in 4-momentum Theory Exp. = Conclusion: Or not!! MC Event Generator, 徐庆君

  4. Introduction: MC Integration vs. Simulation For an integral: MC Integration density MC Simulation , following steps of MC Integration, events are saved for future use Use approximation Instead of Calculate weight Rejection Events are accepted if W is the maximum weight, Otherwise we reject them. Statistical error MC Event Generator, 徐庆君

  5. Introduction PHOTOS MC Event Generator PHOTOS is used to simulate QED effects in decays It is widely used (LEP. LHC, DESY, KEK, SLAC, BEPC, BELLE, BARBAR) and has 300+ citations PHOTOS can be combined with other main process generators Process independent kernel is used in PHOTOS Systematic error needs to be controlled process by process MC Event Generator, 徐庆君

  6. PHOTOS MC: simulate QED effects Normal way to study QED radiative correction Using Feynman rules, calculate Calculate virtual QED corrections Calculate soft and collinear photon contribution = + + free of IR and collinear divergences Calculate non-collinear photon contribution, add corrections of virtual and real photon together, we get one-loop level result (1 + ) + non-collinear MC Event Generator, 徐庆君

  7. PHOTOS MC: simulate QED effects PHOTOS MC simulates hard photon emission from final states A process independent kernel is used instead of exact matrix element, it satisfies: in soft and collinear limits, Lim = = + remaining part Affects the precision Phase space is exact, factorized into Events (suppose to be events with and without hard photon) Born level Amplitude and phase space Affects the precision Events with hard photon Process independent kernel and exact phase space MC Event Generator, 徐庆君

  8. PHOTOS MC: study the precision How to increase the precision (important for exp. systematic error ) Calculate QED corrections, implement it into PHOTOS Study the amplitude of hard photon emission Write it into two parts, one is same as the kernel in PHOTOS, another is remaining part (it is small normally). The remaining part is process dependent and decide the precision of PHOTOS Compare results using Consist, OK Not consist, • Increase the precision of PHOTOS Should the remaining part be considered at two-loop order? 2. find the similarity of processes in different theory framework (QCD, QED, Scalar QED) help to build other generators Study the underlying theory MC Event Generator, 徐庆君
