1 Monte-Carlo simulation and uncertainties Marek Schönherr Universität Zürich SLAC 09 Nov 206 Marek Schönherr Monte-Carlo simulation and uncertainties /23

2 Introduction and disclaimer There are high precision calculations available for all production modes. Fully exclusive particle level calculations are available for every channel at least at NLO accuracy employing at least two diff. matching algorithms. Most channels have well tested multijet merged calculations available. Question: How do these calculations compare against dedicated calculations at higher accuracy? Perfect agreement is not expected, as different scale choices, resummation variables, non-perturbative corrections, etc. Can the differences be understood? For ggf such a study was conducted within LH 5. Ideal testbed because of the size of the effects and the availability of many different specialised calculations.
