Monte Carlo Event Generators for Future Lepton Colliders
arXiv:2606.22007 · doi:10.1140/epjp/s13360-026-07940-x
Abstract
Monte Carlo event generators are essential tools in collider physics, providing the link between theoretical predictions and experimental measurements through fully exclusive event simulation. Future collider programmes, particularly high-precision lepton colliders will place significantly increased demands on their accuracy and scope. This contribution reviews key challenges in MC generator development, including electroweak corrections, initial-state radiation, beam dynamics, perturbative QCD, and non-perturbative modelling. The discussion is not exhaustive and reflects a selective choice of topics.
