Meaning of "Scale" of an events/process in MonteCarlo
Hi there
I do have this question - I often hear that "this depends on the scale of the process" for example when it comes to match the matrix-elements with a parton-shower program (I am new to MonteCarlo world)
so, what does "scale" means ? Is just the Q that is carried out by the produced particle or is what we could define as factorization scale ie Q^2 = m^2(W) + Sum{JetPT(i)}
thanks
