In conventional parton showers (including ones based on dipoles/antennae), a given $(\mathrm{Born}+m)$-parton configuration can typically be reached via ${\mathcal O}(m!)$ different "shower histories". In the context of…
In this paper, we study various conceptual and practical aspects of using maximum-entropy reweighting to upgrade parton-shower event samples based on higher-accuracy theoretical constraints. Our approach produces strictly positive per-event…

Large logarithms that arise in cross sections due to the collinear and soft singularities of QCD are traditionally treated using parton showers or analytic resummation. Parton showers provide a fully-differential description of an event but…
The second-order QCD matrix elements give a very good agreement with experimental data on the angular distributions of the four-jet events in e+e- collisions at the Z0 resonance energy. Unfortunately the description of the sub-jet structure…
The parton splittings in a parton shower are ordered according to an ordering variable, for example the transverse momentum of the daughter partons relative to the direction of the mother, the virtuality of the splitting, or the angle…
Double parton scattering (DPS) processes in which there is a perturbative $1\to2$ splitting in both protons overlap with loop corrections to single parton scattering (SPS). Any fundamental theoretical treatment of DPS needs to address this…
It is useful to describe a leading order parton shower as the solution of a linear equation that specifies how the state of the partons evolves. This description involves an essential approximation of a strong ordering of virtualities as…
