Methods and Results for Standard Model Event Generation at $\sqrt{s}$ = 14 TeV, 33 TeV and 100 TeV Proton Colliders (A Snowmass Whitepaper)

摘要

This document describes the novel techniques used to simulate the commonSnowmass 2013 Energy Frontier Standard Model backgrounds for future hadroncolliders. The purpose of many Energy Frontier studies is to explore the reachof high luminosity data sets at a variety of high energy colliders. Thegeneration of high statistics samples which accurately model large integratedluminosities for multiple center-of-mass energies and pile-up environments isnot possible using an unweighted event generation strategy -- an approach whichrelies on event weighting was necessary. Even with these improvements inefficiency, extensive computing resources were required. This documentdescribes the specific approach to event generation using Madgraph5 to produceparton-level processes, followed by parton showering and hadronization withPythia6, and pile-up and detector simulation with Delphes3. The majority ofStandard Model processes for pp interactions at $\sqrt(s)$ = 14, 33, and 100TeV with 0, 50, and 140 additional pile-up interactions are publicly available.
