Automated perturbative computations of cross sections for hard processes in asymmetric hadronic collisions at next-to-leading order in 𝛼 𝑠 will offer a wide range of applications, such as more robust predictions for new experimental codes, the phenomenology of heavy-ion collisions, and the interpretation of the LHC and RHIC data. Such a goal can now be achieved using MadGraph5_aMC@NLO, a well-established tool for automatic generation of matrix elements and event generation for high energy physics processes in elementary collisions. We report here about the extension of MadGraph5_aMC@NLO, done by implementing computations for asymmetric collisions. These new capabilities will be made available via the EU Virtual Access NLOAccess (https://nloaccess.in2p3.fr).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
