LHC Predictions for Hadroproduction of Heavy Quarks using POWHEG — •Michael Topp — Institute for Theoretical Physics, WWU Münster

The POWHEG Box is an event generator that offers a framework for implementing NLO calculations in shower Monte Carlo programs like Pythia. In order to compare with experimental data I have simulated the Hadroproduction of heavy quarks (pp and pA) at √s=2.76 TeV, √s=5.023 TeV and √s=7 TeV. By analysing these data, I have got p_T spectra of electrons, muons and D mesons. In my talk I present the results compared to ALICE data and other theoretical predictions (GM-VFNS and FONLL).
