Hadron-hadron collision mode in ReneSANCe-v1.3.0

Abstract

We report an implementation of the hadron-hadron (pp and pp¯) collision mode to the Monte Carlo event generator ReneSANCe — the code that was previously developed for e+e− collisions. The described extension of ReneSANCe currently contains neutral and charged current Drell-Yan processes pp[pp¯]→ZX→ℓ+ℓ−X, pp[pp¯]→W+X→ℓ+νℓX and pp[pp¯]→W−X→ℓ−ν¯ℓX. We take into account complete one-loop electroweak (EW) and one-loop QCD corrections to these processes. The calculation is based on the SANC (Support for Analytic and Numeric Calculations for experiments at colliders) modules. The generator is constructed in such a way that new processes can be easily added. The paper contains a theoretical description of the SANC approach, numerical validations and a manual.

Phys. Commun. 256 (2020) 107445Does the new version supersede the previous version?: Yes.Reasons for the new version: Implementation of the hadron-hadron collision mode.Summary of revisions: Added support of the pp and pp¯ collision modes. Implemented neutral and charged current Drell-Yan processes.Nature of problem: Theoretical calculations at next-to-leading order in perturbation theory allow to compute higher precision amplitudes for Standard Model processes and decays. Proper treatments of UV divergences and IR singularities are performed.Solution method: Numerical integration of the precomputed differential expressions for cross sections of certain processes implemented as SANC modules [1,2].Additional comments including restrictions and unusual features:ReneSANCe homepage https://renesance.hepforge.org. The SANC modules and codes also available at http://sanc.jinr.ru. The list of processes in the hadron-hadron collision mode is limited to pp[pp¯]→ZX→ℓ+ℓ−X, pp[p¯]→W+X→ℓ+νℓX and pp[p¯]→W−X→ℓ+ν¯ℓX.
