Hadron-hadron collision mode in ReneSANCe-v1.3.0

Abstract

We report an implementation of the hadron-hadron ($pp$ and $p\bar{p}$) collision mode to the Monte Carlo event generator ReneSANCe - the code that was previously developed for $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collisions. The described extension of ReneSANCe currently contains neutral and charged current Drell-Yan prosesses $pp[p\bar{p}]\to ZX\to {\ell }^{+}{\ell }^{-}X$, $pp[p\bar{p}]\to W^{+}X\to {\ell }^{+}{\nu }_{\ell }X$ and $pp[p\bar{p}]\to W^{-}X\to {\ell }^{-}{\bar{\nu }}_{\ell }X$. We take into account complete one-loop electroweak (EW) and one-loop QCD corrections to these processes. The calculation is based on the SANC (Support for Analytic and Numeric Calculations for experiments at colliders) modules. The generator is constructed in such a way that new processes can be easily added. The paper contains a theoretical description of the SANC approach, numerical validations and a manual.
