Jet fragmentation functions measured in e^+e^- and p+\bar{p} experiments are well-described on an inclusive hadron level by QCD-based calculations. Fragmentation is expected to be modified by the presence of a strongly interacting medium,…

A method is detailed for the phase space integration of multi-jets cross sections at lepton colliders, applicable to parton level Monte Carlo's at any order in perturbation theory. Other non-jet objects, massless or massive, can be included…
The GR@PPA event generator has been updated to version 2.7. This distribution provides event generators for $V$ ($W$ or $Z$) + jets ($\leq$ 4 jets), $VV$ + jets ($\leq$ 2 jets) and QCD multi-jet ($\leq$ 4 jets) production processes at $pp$…
