GenEvA (II): A phase space generator from a reweighted parton shower

Bauer, Christian W., Tackmann, Frank J., Thaler, Jesse

Understand

We introduce a new efficient algorithm for phase space generation.

A parton shower is used to distribute events across all of multiplicity, flavor, and phase space, and these events can then be reweighted to any desired analytic distribution.
To verify this method, we reproduce the e+e- -> n jets tree-level result of traditional matrix element tools.
We also show how to improve tree-level matrix elements automatically with leading-logarithmic resummation.
