ggF | PS uncertainties | [potentially public note] | >2021 | Start looking at the new MiNNLOPS sample and use this as testbed to kick start some of the shower uncertainties studies | Starting |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ggF | Uncertainties in kinematic regions | Recommendation (LHCXSWG-INT-2017-001); Tool Working on a public note with the new recommendation with WG2 |
--- Summer 2021 |
It is a set of per-event weights, one for each source of uncertainty, to plug&play using the simplified/template cross section setup. Implemented everything in MINLO NNLOPS, being this the reference and the most up to date generator. Re-weighting Powheg to NNLOPS is mandatory , since the uncertainties have been calculated with a given perturbative order, and if it is not matched with the generator, the result may be inconsistent. Recent progress: High-Pt results from WG1 (see next line) incorporated+ agreement reached on NP definition between ATLAS, CMS and theory community. |
Old STXS: done New STXS 1.2: In progress (finalizing the numbers) |

VBF | PS uncertainties | Public note with detailed benchmark study![]() |
2020 | Systematic investigation of parton shower and matching uncertainties for VBF, compare generators at NLO QCD matched with PYTHIA8 and HERWIG7 with NNLO, sets PS recommendation for the VBS/VBF topologies | Done |
VBF | STXS uncertainties | Public tool![]() |
Spring/Summer 2020 | Developed a VBF uncertainty scheme for the STXS measurement that is currently used as a benchmark by both ATLAS and CMS, still some areas with room for improvement (for example in the EWK corrections in the EW H+2jets). | Mostly done, note being written |
