Studying the Infrared Behaviour of Improved Logarithmic Accuracy Parton Showers with Herwig

Jack Holguin, Simon Plätzer, Michael H. Seymour +1

We have implemented two recently proposed dipole shower algorithms that have next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy at leading colour in the Herwig event generator. We study their pr…

Fully Differential Soft Gluon Evolution at the Amplitude Level

Jeffrey R. Forshaw, Simon Plätzer, Fernando Torre González

We study differential intra-jet radiation patterns in jet production at full colour. We present a systematic study of several QCD processes and also multi-jet production f…

Dark Sector Showers and Hadronisation in Herwig 7

Suchita Kulkarni, M. R. Masouminia, Simon Plätzer +1

We present a novel simulation of a strongly interacting dark sector also known as the Hidden Valley scenarios using angular ordered showers and the cluster hadronisation model in H…

Photoproduction in general-purpose event generators

Ilkka Helenius, Peter Meinzinger, Simon Plätzer +1

We compare the three general-purpose Monte Carlo event generators, HERWIG, PYTHIA, and SHEPRA for jet photoproduction processes in and collisions. Due to the lower en…

Matching Hadronization and Perturbative Evolution: The Cluster Model in Light of Infrared Shower Cutoff Dependence

André H. Hoang, Oliver L. Jin, Simon Plätzer +1

In the context of Monte Carlo (MC) generators with parton showers that have next-to-leading-logarithmic (NLL) precision, the cutoff terminating the shower evolution should be…

Wigner 6j symbols with gluon lines: completing the set of 6j symbols required for color decomposition

Stefan Keppeler, Simon Plätzer, Malin Sjodahl

We construct a set of Wigner 6j symbols with gluon lines (adjoint representations) in closed form, expressed in terms of similar 6j symbols with quark lines (fundamental representa…
