51 MLM algorithm in a nutshell 1. Generate ME events (with different parton multiplicities) using parton-level cuts (pt ME /ΔR or kt ME ) 2. Cluster each event and reweight αs and PDFs based on the scales in the corresponding clustering vertices 3. Run the parton shower with starting scale t0 = mt. 4. Check that the number of jets after parton shower is the same as ME partons, and that all jets after parton shower are matched to the ME partons at a scale Q match. If yes, keep the event. If no, reject the event. Q match is called the matching scale. 5. For highest multiplicity, allow radiation < lowest ME scale 22

53 Matching with b-quarks Shower ME Gives smooth matching to Pythia PS 24
54 Need for NLO!! 25
55 Going NLO At NLO the dependence on the renormalization and factorization scales is reduced First order where scale dependence in the running coupling and the PDFs is compensated for via the loop corrections: first reliable estimate of the total cross section Better description of final state: impact of extra radiation included (e.g. jets can have substructure) Opening of additional initial state partonic channels 26
