In this thesis, the leading order analytical cross section for the
|
|
quark level diphoton process has been calculated and verified using
|
|
the \sherpa\ event generator. Subsequently some Monte Carlo methods
|
|
for integration and sampling were mathematically motivated,
|
|
implemented and applied to the diphoton process, resulting in the
|
|
implementation of a simple event generator for proton-proton
|
|
scattering. Good sampling efficiency was achieved and potential
|
|
problems with the employed algorithm were highlighted.
|
|
|
|
Finally a phenomenological study of the diphoton process in
|
|
proton-proton scattering was performed by incrementally enabling
|
|
additional effects in the \sherpa\ event generator. Albeit the leading
|
|
order matrix element gives a good qualitative picture for the shape of
|
|
some observables, higher order effects like parton showering proved to
|
|
have a significant impact on certain observables.
|
|
|
|
The simplistic implementation of the diphoton process could be
|
|
developed further by using NLO matrix elements for the hard
|
|
process. This would lead to extra emissions and new requirements for
|
|
photon isolation and a plethora of new effects. Another avenue of
|
|
refinement of the simulation would be to allow the creation of photons
|
|
in parton showers. The impact of increased photon activity could lead
|
|
to additional observable effects.
