A NEW WAY OF REDUCING NEGATIVE WEIGHTS IN MC@NLO

A new way of reducing negative weights in MC@NLO

Abstract We introduce a new technique, that we dub Born spreading, aimed at reducing the number of negative-weight $${mathbb {S}}$$ S events in the MC@NLO matching of macaron gel nail kit NLO calculations with parton-shower simulations.We show that such a technique, based on a re-distribution of Born matrix elements in the radiative sweet life cart

Humour and laughter as vestiges of evolution

This paper argues in favour of considering humour and laughter as embodied signs of the ancient, sympathetic, figurative mode of the human mind, still working with us in dance, music, singing and literary activity.Starting from steady evolutionary provisos, both the continuity and the departing lines between nonhuman vocalisations and human laughte
