Correcting the Dipole Cascade with Matrix Elements
in Hadron Collisions
Master of Science thesis
Abstract
There are two main ways of describing multi particle
production: fixed order matrix elements and parton showers.
They provide a good description in complementary regions of
phase space. There is an algorithm available for correcting
the dipole cascade model with fixed order matrix elements
in e+e- collisions. This algorithm is modified to be used
for hadron-hadron collision in general and W+ production in
proton antiproton collisions at the Tevatron in
particular.
