H1jet, a fast program to compute transverse momentum distributions

We present H1jet , a fast code that computes the total cross section and differential distribution in the transverse momentum of a colour singlet. In its current version, the program implements only leading-order 2 → 1 and 2 → 2 processes, but could be extended to higher orders. We discuss the proce...

Summary:We present H1jet , a fast code that computes the total cross section and differential distribution in the transverse momentum of a colour singlet. In its current version, the program implements only leading-order 2 → 1 and 2 → 2 processes, but could be extended to higher orders. We discuss the processes implemented in H1jet , give detailed instructions on how to implement new processes, and perform comparisons to existing codes. This tool, mainly designed for theorists, can be fruitfully used to assess deviations of selected new physics models from the Standard Model behaviour, as well as to quickly obtain distributions of relevance for Standard Model phenomenology.
