An Improved Parton Shower algorithm in QED

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

An improved QED Parton Shower algorithm to calculate photonic radiative corrections to QED processes at flavour factories is described. We consider the possibility of performing photon generation in order to take into account also the effects due to interference between initial and final state radiation. Comparisons with exact order α\alpha results are shown and commented.
