Description

In this talk I will discuss recent progress to ameliorate the accuracy of the PanScales showers beyond NLL for massless final states.
In particular, I will present the inclusion of quark-mass effects and matching to fixed-order calculations. Matching is also paramout to obtain NNDL accuracy for event shapes and, combined with an improved treatment of soft radiation beyond the standard NLL approximation, it is essential for achieving NNLL and NSL accuracy for many collider observables.
