In this talk, I review recent developments in perturbative QCD and their applications to collider physics.
The Parton-Shower algorithm implement in the Pythia generator is applied multiple times to the same parton-level configuration to estimate the systematic uncertainty affecting large-radius jet substructure variables associated with the…
This summarizes the talk given at the LCWS 2019 conference in Sendai, Japan, on the progress of the WHIZARD event generator in terms of new physics features and technical improvements relevant for the physics programme of future lepton and…
The Monte Carlo event generator EKHARA was upgraded during last years. The upgrades presented here contain: a) the inclusion of new final states $e^+e^-\to e^+e^-\eta $, $e^+e^-\to e^+e^-\eta'$, $e^+e^-\to e^+e^- \chi_{c_i} $ and $e^+e^-\to…
I discuss recent developments in the QCD cascade formalism. I focus on the importance of and uncertainties in higher order corrections to the Modified Leading Log approximation for final-state radiation. I also talk about the CCFM and LDC…
We provide a brief review of the current status of resummed predictions for QCD final state observables such as event shapes and jet rates in a variety of different hard processes. Particular emphasis is given to more recent developments…
We present a consistent way of combining associated weak boson radiation in hard dijet events with hard QCD radiation in Drell-Yan-like scatterings. This integrates multiple tree-level calculations with vastly different cross sections, QCD-…
Recent jet physics results from ep and $\gamma$p scattering at HERA will be reviewed covering cross-section measurements, the extraction of QCD parameters, the transition region from photoproduction to deep-inelastic scattering and the…
This is a status report of the WHIZARD Monte Carlo multi-purpose event generator given at the LCFORUM 2012 at DESY. I review here the development of the WHIZARD generator version 2 with a special emphasis on linear collider physics. In case…
We provide some new results of the ground state of quantum layers.
We introduce the recently developed IR-improved DGLAP-CS theory into the showers in Pythia8, as this Monte Carlo event generator is in wide use at LHC. We show that, just as it was true in the IR-improved shower Monte Carlo Herwiri, which…
We present an updated set of parameters for the PYTHIA 8 event generator. We reevaluate the constraints imposed by LEP and SLD on hadronization, in particular with regard to heavy-quark fragmentation and strangeness production. For hadron…
A major new release of the Monte Carlo event generator Herwig++ (version 3.0) is now available. This release marks the end of distinguishing Herwig++ and HERWIG development and therefore constitutes the first major release of version 7 of…
We compare the three general-purpose Monte Carlo event generators, HERWIG, PYTHIA, and SHEPRA for jet photoproduction processes in $e^+e^-$ and $ep$ collisions. Due to the lower energy scales probed, photoproduction is particularly…
Recent CMS results on Forward and Small-x QCD Physics are presented. Those include the measurement of the Underlying Event activity and the study of jet production at large rapidity separation.
Studies of hadronic final states are entering a new phase where very precise experimental measurements require better theoretical predictions for a meaningful comparison. Recent results and future developments are briefly reviewed both for…
CompHEP, as a partonic event generator, and PYTHIA, as a generator of final states of detectable objects, are interfaced. Thus, integrated tool is proposed for simulation of (almost) arbitrary collision processes at the level of detectable…

This report summarizes the most recent progress in measuring the angle gamma (or phi_3) of the Unitarity Triangle.
Substantial progress has been made recently in the formalisms which form the basis of event generators. I discuss some of the ideas involved, emphasizing the role of higher-order QCD corrections and their interplay with parton showers
