We have the following NLOPS predictions. ============================ ====== VBF ======= ============================ 1. Powheg Box plus Pythia (default shower) A. filename = pythia/pythia-pThard2.yoda the nominal weights correspond to the central choice. B. [VAR{1..6}] corresponds to the other muF,muR variations in the ME. An envelope must be built out of these 7 curves. C. Starting shower scale variation: central value in pythia/pythia-pThard0.yoda (D.) Renormalisation shower scale variations in pythia/pythia-pThard2-psvar.yoda weights [PS_MUR0.5] and [PS_MUR2.0] --> DO NOT INCLUDE ==> Show the central prediction with a solid line (A), PS starting scale variation with a dashed line (C), envelope for ME muF, muR variations (B) envelope obtained summing in quadrature (B) and |(A)-(C)| 2. Powheg Box plus Vincia As 1 with pythia --> vincia in the filenames. Show only the central prediction. 3. Powheg Box plus Herwig (angular-ordered) A. filename = powheg-herwig/pwg-hw7-vbf.yoda the nominal weights correspond to the central choice. B. [W{1..8}] corresponds to the other muF,muR variations in the ME. An envelope must be built out of these curves. (Central weights is repetead more the once, so there are only 7 vars) Show only the central prediction 4. Madgraph plus Herwig (angular-ordered) A. filename = MG5_aMCplusH7/run_mushdefault/histos.yoda the nominal weights correspond to the central choice. B. [tag= AAA dyn= 10 muR=XXX muF=YYY] with AAA = 600 (LO), 602 (NLO correction), 0 (NLO) build the 7 point variations envelope from tag = 0 C. PS scale variations from central value in MG5_aMCplusH7/{run_mush0.5,run_mush2}/histos.yoda Show only the central prediction 5. Herwig angular ordered standalone [analysis name MY_ANALYSIS -> MY_ANALYSIS_proVBF] A. filename = hw7/yh-runs/VBF-AO-MCatNLO.yoda B. hw7/yh-runs/VBF-AO-MCatNLO-{Qdown,Qup}.yoda corresponds to the correlated muF,muR variations C. hw7/yh-runs/VBF-AO-MCatNLO-{down,up}.yoda corresponds to the shower starting scale variation Show only the central value 6. Herwig dipole standalone [analysis name MY_ANALYSIS -> MY_ANALYSIS_proVBF] As 5 with AO --> Dipole in the file name 7. Sherpa default A. filename = Sherpa/Sherpa-VBF.yoda.gz The nominal weights correspond to the central choice. B. [ME.MUR=*__ME.MUF=*__ME.LHAPDF=93300] correspond to muR/muF in the ME C. Sherpa/Sherpa-VBF-SclVar{Up,Down}.yoda.gz corresponds to the shower starting scale variation (D.) [MUR=*__ME.MUF=*__LHAPDF=93300] correspond to (correlated) muR/muF variations in the ME and in the shower. In (D.1) Sherpa-VBF.yoda.gz <-- default variation (too aggressive) (D.2) Sherpa-VBF-largeShowerVar.yoda.gz <-- LL scale variation (too big) (D.3) Sherpa-VBF-largeShowerVarV{2,3}.yoda.gz <-- NLL scale variation (they are equivalent, take e.g. 2 ) Show only the central value 8. Sherpa Dire As 7, with "Sherpa/Sherpa" --> "Sherpa/Sherpa-Dire". (D.2 -- D.3) are missing Comparison between NLOPS and fixed order ---> NLOPS-1 plots Maintain the same colouring and stiles for the main panel and the first ratio plot, with powheg+pythia the central prediction (1.A) The "matching&PS scheme" envelope showed in the main and first ratio plot is given by summing in quadrature these 3 envelopes: - muF, muR variation in the ME for the central prediction (1.B) - shower starting scale variation for the central prediction (1.C) - envelope of all the central predictions in 1 -- 8 In the second ratio plot show the breakdown: - A solid coloured line for each NLOPS curve (as already done) - A dashed coloured line with the powheg pythia colour for the different pTmax match (1.C) [label it pTmaxMatch=0] - A solid filled band for the ME scale variation [add a label = "ME $\mu_{F,R}$ vars"] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Introduce a new set of plots, NLOPS-1-2, for VBF. All the curves are normalised wrt Sherpa Default (7.A) First panel: - Show Sherpa default curve (7A) in red (as in the other NLOPS), solid - Show the other 2 curves corresponding to shower starting scale variations as a dashed and a dotted line (7.C), always in red - Show the pure muF,muR variation in the ME (7.B) as a filled band, in red Second panel: - Show a filled band for the correlated muF,muR variations in the shower and in the ME (7.D.1 [deep pink], 7.D.2 [violet], 7.D.3 [blue]) Third panel: - Show the hashed green band corresponding to the total NLOPS error built for NLOPS-1 plots - Show a solid red band summing in quadrature all the errors of the firt panel (muF,muR vars in ME + shower starting scale var) - Show a solid blue band summing in quadrature the blue envelope in the previous panel (muF,muR vars in ME+PS) plus the envelope obtained varying the PS scale vars
