Colour evolution and parton branching at the amplitude level have become important theoretical frameworks to improve parton showers, and are algorithms in their own right: they complement shower development by resummation algorithms capable…
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…
