The analyses of recent LEP data provide us with a rich ground for pQCD and LPHD tests. A number of non-trivial effects predicted in the framework of MLLA are experimentally verified. Recent measurements also enrich our knowledge about the…
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…
