HELAC-DIPOLES


Helac-Dipoles


HELAC-DIPOLES  includes the massless dipole formalism of  Catani and Seymour,  as well as its massive version as developed by Catani, Dittmaier, Seymour and Trocsanyi, for arbitrary helicity eigenstates of the external partons. Phase space integration of subtracted real radiation and integrated dipoles in both massless and massive cases is implemented and performed with the help of Monte Carlo generators PHEGAS and KALEUA phase space restriction on the contribution of the dipoles is also added. 

The HELAC-DIPOLES package has been extended with the implementation of a new subtraction formalism, first introduced by Nagy and Soper in the formulation of an improved parton shower.  A semi-numerical  approach for the evaluation of the integrated subtraction  terms for both massless and massive partons has been implemented, which provides the missing ingredient for a complete implementation. The new scheme can now be used for processes with  arbitrary parton masses and multiplicities.  Random polarization and color sampling of the external partons is also included.
