Parton Shower Uncertainties studies

In this page, we collect results and activities related to Parton Shower Uncertainties studies for Higgs analysis.

Existing material

• Modeling studies for ttH/ttV final states
• Les Houches studies on Higgs plus jet distributions
• Les Houches studies on Higgs plus jet distributions: published version with addtional studies of dijets, Z+jets
• Resummation ambiguities for H pt
• Zbb studies

Action items

• Collect and share information about relevant PS issues (large discrepancies between generators etc.)
• Coordinated study of ``test-case'' analysis, similar to Les Houches effort

Highlighted issues

• Efficient sharing of material
• Recoil scheme studies

Meetings

• Kick-off meeting, Jun 27th 2019
• Parallel session on PS during 16th LHCHXS workshop
• Parton Shower Uncertainties in Higgs Measurements (Session 1), March 07th 2020
