Monte Carlo study of NLO correction to QCD evolution kernel induced by the change of the factorization scale
Abstract
The aim of the present study is to show that: the redefinition of the factorization scale Qi zi Qi in the ladder can be traded exactly for the NLO correction to the LO evolution kernel, P(z) P(z)+(2CF αS/π)(z) The above observation was done/exploited in the literature, but the present study demonstrates how this phenomenon is realized within the Markovian Monte Carlo parton shower - hence it might be relevant in MC practice.
