Nonperturbative corrections and showering in NLO-matched event generators

Abstract

We study contributions from nonperturbative effects and parton showering in NLO event generators, and present applications to jet final states. We find pT-dependent and rapidity-dependent corrections which can affect the shape of observed jet distributions at the LHC. We illustrate numerically the kinematic shifts in longitudinal momentum distributions from the implementation of energy-momentum conservation in collinear shower algorithms.
