We give an outline of a formalism for the solution of the evolution equations for off-forward parton distributions in leading and next-to-leading orders based on partial conformal wave expansion and orthogonal polynomials reconstruction.
We investigate the concept of partonic entropy of the proton within the Dokshitzer--Gribov--Lipatov--Altarelli--Parisi (DGLAP) evolution scheme of collinear parton distributions. We show that such entropy increases monotonically with the…
We introduce a method for the separation of soft and collinear logarithms in QCD parton evolution at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^2)$ and at leading color. Using an implementation of the technique in the Dire parton shower, we analyze the…
When parton distributions are falling steeply as the momentum fractions of the partons increases, there are effects that occur at each order in $\alpha_s$ that combine to affect hard scattering cross sections and need to be summed. We show…
Studies on jet substructure have evolved significantly in recent years. Jet substructure is essentially determined by QCD radiations and non-perturbative effects. Predictions of jet substructure are usually different among Monte Carlo event…

We derive evolution equations for the truncated Mellin moments of the parton distributions. We find that the equations have the same form as those for the partons themselves. The modified splitting function for n-th moment $P'(n,x)$ is…
A new method for combining QCD matrix elements and parton showers in Monte Carlo simulations of hadronic final states is outlined. The aim is to provide at least a leading-order description of all hard multi-jet configurations together with…
We argue that the evolution of coloured partons into colour-singlet hadrons has approximate factorization into an extended parton-shower phase and a colour-singlet resonance--pole phase. The amplitude for the conversion of colour connected…
We discuss an alternative subtraction scheme for NLO QCD calculations, which is based on the splitting kernels of an improved parton shower. As an example, we show results for the C parameter of the process e+ e- to 3 jets at NLO used for…
In this talk the newly developped Monte-Carlo event generator {\tt APACIC++} suitable to describe multijet-events in high-energetic electron-positron annihilations is presented. A new ansatz to match the corresponding matrix elements for…
