We present an overview of the options for diffraction implemented in the general--purpose event generator Pythia 8. We review the existing model for low-- and high--mass soft diffraction and present a new model for hard diffraction in pp…
The development and operation of large-scale particle physics facilities rely not only on accelerators and detectors, but also on sustained, high-precision simulation infrastructure. Originating in Lund in the late 1970s and continuously…
Models of physical systems are used to explain and predict experimental results and observations. When students encounter discrepancies between the actual and expected behavior of a system, they revise their models to include the newly…
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…
We propose and carry a detailed study of an observable sensitive to different mechanisms of minijet production. The class of observables measures how the transverse momenta of hadrons produced in association with various trigger objects are…
Topologically ordered phase has emerged as one of most exciting concepts that not only broadens our understanding of phases of matter, but also has been found to have potential application in fault-tolerant quantum computation. The direct…
An algebraic formalism for the study of interacting particle systems is developed. Particle processes are described in terms of the category theory. The problem for the unique description of these processes is discussed. Categories relevant…
I give a brief introduction to particle interactions based on representations of Poincare Lie algebra. This is later generalized to interactions based on representations of the supersymmetry Lie algebra. Globally supersymmetric models with…

The study of the high-multiplicity pp events has become important because we need to understand the origin of the fluid-like features which have been found in such small systems. In this work we concentrate on the radial flow signatures. To…
Parton showers have become a standard component in the description of high-energy collisions. Nowadays most final-state ones are of the dipole character, wherein a pair of partons branches into three, with energy and momentum preserved…
Over the last years, Machine Learning (ML) tools have been successfully applied to a wealth of problems in high-energy physics. In this work, we discuss the extraction of the average number of Multiparton Interactions ($\langle N_{\rm mpi}…
Increasingly, with the data collected at the LHC we are confronted with the possible existence of flow in pp collisions. In this work we show that PYTHIA 8 produces flow-like effects in events with multiple hard subcollisions due to color…
After discussing the significance of interactions to understand complex multiscale stochastic systems (CMSS), we turn our attention to the construction of a Generalised Theory of Interactions (GToI). We define interactions as discrete,…
Computer simulations of coarse-grained molecular models for amphiphilic systems can provide insight into the the structure of amphiphiles at interfaces. They can help to identify the factors that determine the phase behavior, and they can…
We show that many-body interference (MBI) phenomena are exponentially suppressed in the particle number, if only the identical quantum objects brought to interference acquire a finite level of distinguishability through statistical mixing…
In this talk we cover several issues concerning pion production. The first one is the p p ----> p p pi^0 reaction where an alternative explanation based on the off shell extrapolation of the pi N amplitude is offered. A recent model for the…
At the LHC energies, the underlying observables are of major topic of interest in high multiplicity $p+p$ collisions. Multiple Parton Interactions (MPI) is one of them, in which several interactions occur in a single $p+p$ collision. It is…
