Description

We present comparisons of HERWIRI1 to experimental data showing the effect of its IR-improved kernels in both HERWIG6.5 and MC@NLO environments. We also present the first complete implementation of HERWIRI2, which incorporates the order-alpha electroweak corrections and coherent exclusive exponentiation structure of the KK Monte Carlo in a HERWIG environment for Z production. We discuss its current status and results, and sketch future upgrades.
