Contents diphoton_grids_lhc.tar.gz -- subdirectory with input grids for the LHC diphoton_ins_lhc.tar.gz -- subdirectory with resbos.in template files book_ntuple_lhc_public.bat -- a UNIX shell script for automated computation and matching of resummed cross sections h0_lhc_ct6m_m110_140_grids.tar.gz -- input grids for SM Higgs production with masses 110, 120, 130, 140 GeV lo_lhc_ct6m.tar.gz -- leading-order diphoton cross sections, obtained using CTEQ6M To compute the matched resummed cross sections in the form of PAW ntuples, compile the ResBos executable using make and execute the above shell script. The values of the relevant parameters are specified in the header of the script. The script automatically updates the resbos.in file and runs ResBos several times to produce ntuples for qqbar+qg, gg+gq and combined channels. You will need to create subdirectories grids/ and ins/ with input grids and resbos.in templates beforehand. The returned files are called res321_aa_lhc_ct6m.hbook -- the NNLL/NLO resummed cross section for the qqbar+qg channel res321_ag_lhc_ct6m.hbook -- the NNLL/NLO resummed cross section for the gg+gq channel res321_all_lhc_ct6m.hbook -- the resummed cross section for all (qqbar+qg+gg+gq) channels, i.e., the final output that can be compared to the data The cross section grids are computed along the lines described in Refs. [1] and [2]. The CTEQ6M PDF's [J. Pumplin et al., JHEP 0207, 012 (2002)] and nonperturbative Sudakov function obtained in A. Konychev, P. Nadolsky, Phys. Lett. B633, 710 (2006) were used. The final-state fragmentation singularity arising in qg direct channel is regularized using a combination of quasi-experimental isolation and Catani- Seymour subtraction described in Ref. [2] and corresponding to the parameter isub=12 in book_ntuple_lhc_public.bat. An alternative regularization by quasi-experimental isolation and smooth-cone subtraction (introduced in Ref. [1]) may be turned on by choosing isub=-2.
