PSR21 - Parton Showers and Resummation

Europe/Zurich
Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note, due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation the PSR21 conference will be organised as an online meeting. We hope to have a face-to-face workshop in 2022 again.

 

The 2021 annual workshop on Parton Showers and Resummation will be held online, during May 25-27, 2021. It is organised jointly by the Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Göttingen, and the IPPP Durham. The workshop brings together researchers interested in Monte Carlo generators and in particular parton showers, resummation techniques and QCD phenomenology, to present and discuss the latest developments and applications.

The workshop is free of registration fees. All talks will be given via zoom, the link to the meeting is:

        Subleading colour effects in the PanScales parton showers and beyond 15m

        It is known that standard dipole showers yield incorrect subleading-colour contributions already at leading-logarithmic level for certain observables. In this talk, I will present two new, simple prescriptions to palliate this issue. I will show how the resulting colour-corrected matrix elements are cured at fixed order in the appropriate limits. I will then demonstrate how the two algorithms allow us to achieve full-colour next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy for various observables (global observables and multiplicities). I will conclude by commenting on the comparison to full-colour NLL-resummed results for non-global observables.
