Multijet events and parton showers

Abstract

We propose a general approach for the description of multijet events in the framework of QCD event generators. We introduce a new algorithm to match parton showers and arbitrary matrix elements for the production of any number of jets via the strong or electroweak interaction. We developped a new parton cascade code capable to deal with multijet events at LEP energies and beyond.
