A summary of recent developments in the simulation of top quark production and decay in the Herwig Monte Carlo event generator.
We describe the recent developments to extend the multi-parton interaction model of underlying events in Herwig++ into the soft, non-perturbative, regime. This allows the program to describe also minimum bias collisions in which there is no…
