Spacetime Colour Reconnection in Herwig 7

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-12-20 v3

Abstract

We present a model for generating spacetime coordinates in the Monte Carlo event generator Herwig 7, and perform colour reconnection by minimizing a boost-invariant distance measure of the system. We compare the model to a series of soft physics observables. We find reasonable agreement with the data, suggesting that pppp-collider colour reconnection may be able to be applied in larger systems.
