Exotic Group Monte Carlo
Running Monte Carlo Faster Than Schumacher &trade
I am the CDF exotics group Monte Carlo (MC) coordinator, responsible for running and distributing MC samples to this diverse physics group. Our official generator is Pythia and our detector simulator (cdfsim) is based on Geant. Most of this information is CDF-internal. Some MC samples I generated lately:
- diphoton for GMSB-scenario SUSY analyses.
- low-mass (M<20 GeV) Drell-Yan (electron and muon) for SUSY trilepton analyses.
- QCD multijet (both inclusive and with b-tagged jets) for top and Higgs analyses.
- Heavy flavor (b-bbar, c-cbar) for SUSY trilepton analyses.
- (Z → νν)+γ for long-lived neutralino and extra-dimensions analyses.
- mSUGRA points for chargino-neutralino analyses.
- (Z → bb)+γ for Technicolor analyses.
- squark-gluino production for SUSY multi-jet analyses.
- RS graviton signal decaying to two electrons or two muons or two photons for RS graviton analyses.
