parton level cross section and matching
Asked by
Sarah Malik
I noticed that the cross section I obtain at the parton level (so no pythia showering) changes a lot with and without matching. For instance if I'm generating W+1jet events, if I set ickkw=0, the cross -section is ~3700, with ickkw = 1, its 5700. My naive understanding was that if I'm only interested in parton level events and not doing any showering, the matching scheme should not matter. Is this not correct?
Thanks!
