The PanScales quest for accurate parton showers

by Dr Gregory Soyez (Saclay/CERN)

Thursday 13 Apr 2023, 14:00 → 15:00 Europe/Rome

601 e online (Dip.to di Fisica Universitá di Genova)

General-purpose Monte Carlo event generators are omnipresent in collider physics. As an introduction, I will discuss the various building blocks entering such tools. The talk will focus on the core part, the so-called parton-shower algorithm. I will what it is meant to achieve, i.e. connections with all-order calculations in perturbative QCD, and how it does it in practice, i.e. (usually) as a dipole shower. The main part of the talk will, describe the effort of the PanScales collaboration in order to improve the current state-of-the-art.
