The Physics of Herwig 7
J. Bellm, G. Bewick, S. Ferrario Ravasio +23
We present the physics foundations and recent developments of Herwig 7, the modern successor of the original HERWIG and Herwig++ series. Herwig 7 provides a flexible and systematic…
Soft QCD Effects in VBS/VBF Topologies
Carsten Bittrich, Patrick Kirchgaeßer, Andreas Papaefstathiou +2
We consider the impact of multi-parton interactions, colour reconnection and hadronization on the modeling of vector boson fusion and vector boson scattering (VBS) final states at…
VBSCan Mid-Term Scientific Meeting
Julien Baglio, Alessandro Ballestrero, Riccardo Bellan +48
This document summarises the talks and discussions happened during the VBSCan Mid-Term Scientific Meeting workshop. The VBSCan COST action is dedicated to the coordinated study of…
Confronting Experimental Data with Heavy-Ion Models: Rivet for Heavy Ions
Christian Bierlich, Andy Buckley, Christian Holm Christensen +11
The Rivet library is an important toolkit in particle physics, and serves as a repository for analysis data and code. It allows for comparisons between data and theoretical calcula…
Herwig 7.2 Release Note
Johannes Bellm, Gavin Bewick, Silvia Ferrario Ravasio +13
A new release of the Monte Carlo event generator Herwig (version 7.2) is now available. This version introduces a number of improvements, notably: improvements to the simulation of…
Improving the description of multiple interactions in Herwig
Johannes Bellm, Stefan Gieseke, Patrick Kirchgaesser
The modelling of multiple parton interactions in Monte Carlo event generators is a crucial part not only for the dressing of signal processes but also to describe data with a minim…
Kinematic strangeness production in cluster hadronization
Cody B. Duncan, Patrick Kirchgaeßer
We present a modification to the non-perturbative strangeness production mechanisms in the Monte-Carlo event generator Herwig in order to make the processes more dynamic and collec…
Colour Reconnection from Soft Gluon Evolution
Stefan Gieseke, Patrick Kirchgaeßer, Simon Plätzer +1
We consider soft gluon evolution at the amplitude level to expose the structure of colour reconnection from a perturbative point of view. Considering the cluster hadronization mode…
Soft and diffractive scattering
Stefan Gieseke, Patrick Kirchgaeßer, Frasher Loshaj
A model for soft and diffractive scattering is presented which is incorporated seamlessly into the pre-existing MPI model in the Monte Carlo Event Generator Herwig. With the improv…
Baryon production from cluster hadronization
Stefan Gieseke, Patrick Kirchgaeßer, Simon Plätzer
We present an extension to the colour reconnection model in the Monte-Carlo event generator Herwig to account for the production of baryons and compare it to a series of observable…
Herwig 7.1 Release Note
Johannes Bellm, Stefan Gieseke, David Grellscheid +13
A new release of the Monte Carlo event generator Herwig (version 7.1) is now available. This version introduces a number of improvements, notably: multi-jet merging with the dipole…
A new model for soft interactions in Herwig
Stefan Gieseke, Patrick Kirchgaeßer, Frasher Loshaj
We present a new model for soft interactions in the Monte Carlo event-generator Herwig. The soft diffractive final states are modeled on the basis of the cluster hadronization mode…
Soft and diffractive scattering with the cluster model in Herwig
Stefan Gieseke, Frashër Loshaj, Patrick Kirchgaeßer
We present a new model for soft interactions in the event-generator Herwig. The model consists of two components. One to model diffractive final states on the basis of the cluster…

M. Bahr, S. Gieseke, M. Gigg +8
A new release of the Monte Carlo program Herwig++ (version 2.1) is now available. This version includes a number of significant improvements including: an eikonal multiple parton-p…
HERWIG 6.1 Release Note
G. Corcella, I. G. Knowles, G. Marchesini +5
A new version of the Monte Carlo program HERWIG (version 6.1) is now available. This note gives brief details of the new features relative to the previous version (5.9). A fully up…
