LNF: GOING BEYOND TRADITIONAL PARTON SHOWERS: AMPLITUDE-LEVEL EVOLUTION
LABORATORI NAZIONALI DI FRASCATI
Speaker: Jeffrey R. Forshaw (Manchester Univ.) I will explain how traditional parton showers, as implemented in the major general purpose monte carlo codes, are fundamentally limited in their accuracy and how that situation can be improved via a new amplitude-level algorithm that includes, amongst other things, Coulomb gluon exchanges between incoming and outgoing partons. Coulomb gluons are responsible for the breaking of soft-collinear factorization and they are what generates the underlying event and diffraction.
