Towards Diffraction in Herwig

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-02-16 v1

Abstract

We propose changes to the colour reconnection model in the Monte Carlo event generator Herwig in order to remove the quasi diffractive events from the soft multiple parton interactions. We then implement explicitly soft diffraction and show some preliminary results.
