We present an MC@NLO-like matching of next-to-leading order QCD calculations with the Nagy-Soper parton shower. An implementation of the algorithm within the HELAC-DIPOLES Monte Carlo generator is used to address the uncertainties and…
Parton shower evolution is given by a renormalization group equation that reflects the infrared behavior of perturbative QCD including color and spin and including quantum interference. With added approximations, such an evolution equation…
We explain how angular correlations in leptonic decays of vector bosons and top quarks can be included in Monte Carlo parton showers, in particular those matched to NLO QCD computations. We consider the production of $n$ pairs of leptons,…
We discuss the problem of incorporating recoil effects into the probabilistic QCD evolution scheme based on the picture of colour dipoles as done in recent Monte Carlo programs. Such a scheme correctly describes subleading soft…
