QCD and Multiparticle Production - The Status of the Perturbative Cascade

Abstract

I discuss recent developments in the QCD cascade formalism. I focus on the importance of and uncertainties in higher order corrections to the Modified Leading Log approximation for final-state radiation. I also talk about the CCFM and LDC evolution equations for initial-state radiation in DIS.
