Description
Parton shower Monte Carlos are by now standard tools to simulate
hadronic final states. Having seen a tremendous improvement of
combining parton showers and fixed order calculations in recent years,
efforts are now underway to improve the shower approximations
themselves, as well.
In this contribution we will present first steps towards including
subleading colour contributions into parton shower algorithms and
discuss the impact of these corrections. Technical aspects required to
arrive at such an improved algorithm, particularly generalizations of
the Sudakov veto algorithm, will also be discussed.
