Jettiness formulation of the MiNNLOPS method

Abstract

Abstract We present a new formulation of the MiNNLOPS method to match NNLO QCD calculations with parton showers by using jettiness as a resummation variable. The full derivation for colour-singlet processes is presented using 0-jettiness starting from the NNLL ′ resummation formula. We show phenomenological results for Drell-Yan and Higgs-boson production at the LHC and compare our predictions to ATLAS and CMS data. Differences to the original MiNNLOPS formulation using the transverse momentum of the colour singlet as resummation variable are discussed. We further present a comparison of MiNNLOPS predictions with Geneva. Finally, we extend the formulation of the MiNNLOPS method to 1-jettiness which is applicable to processes with a colour singlet plus one jet in the final state.
