.. _Examples: ######## Examples ######## Some example set-ups are included in Sherpa, in the ``/share/SHERPA-MC/Examples/`` directory. These may be useful to new users to practice with, or as templates for creating your own Sherpa run-cards. In this section, we will look at some of the main features of these examples. .. contents:: :local: :depth: 1 .. _VJets: ****************************** Vector boson + jets production ****************************** .. contents:: :local: To change any of the following LHC examples to production at different collider energies or beam types, e.g. proton anti-proton at the Tevatron, simply change the beam settings accordingly: .. code-block:: yaml BEAMS: [2212, -2212] BEAM_ENERGIES: 980 .. include:: ./examples/w+jets-production.rst .. include:: ./examples/z+jets-production.rst .. include:: ./examples/bb-production.rst .. _Jets: ************** Jet production ************** .. contents:: :local: .. include:: ./examples/jet-production.rst .. include:: ./examples/jets-at-lepton-colliders.rst .. _HJets: ***************************** Higgs boson + jets production ***************************** .. contents:: :local: .. include:: ./examples/h-production-in-gluon-fusion-with-interference-effects.rst .. include:: ./examples/h+jets-production-in-gluon-fusion.rst .. include:: ./examples/h+jets-production-in-gluon-fusion-with-finite-top-mass-effects.rst .. include:: ./examples/h+jets-production-in-associated-production.rst .. include:: ./examples/associated-t-anti-t-h-production-at-the-lhc.rst .. _TopsJets: ********************************** Top quark (pair) + jets production ********************************** .. contents:: :local: .. include:: ./examples/Top-quark-(pair)-jets-production.rst .. include:: ./examples/Production-of-a-top-quark-pair-in-association-with-a-W-boson.rst .. _SingleTopChannels: ************************************************ Single-top production in the s, t and tW channel ************************************************ In this section, examples for single-top production in three different channels are described.
