Parton showers from the dipole formalism
arXiv:0709.1026 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.76.094003
Abstract
We present an implementation of a parton shower algorithm for hadron colliders and electron-positron colliders based on the dipole factorisation formulae. The algorithm treats initial-state partons on equal footing with final-state partons. We implemented the algorithm for massless and massive partons.
