For over two decades, CORSIKA 7 and its previous versions have been the leading Monte Carlo code for simulating extensive air showers. However, its monolithic Fortran-based software design and hand-optimized code has created challenges for…

We propose changes to the colour reconnection model in the Monte Carlo event generator Herwig in order to remove the quasi diffractive events from the soft multiple parton interactions. We then implement explicitly soft diffraction and show…
Computational astrophysics routinely combines grid-adaptive capabilities with modern shock-capturing, high resolution spatio-temporal schemes on multi-dimensional hydro- and magnetohydrodynamics. We provide an update on developments within…
