22. New Pythia General Tunes [30' + 10' Discussion] [Christian Bierlich]

Discuss the plans of Pythia authors on the new iteration of the general tune. Special focus on handling of eigentunes and the prospects of using shower/hadronization weights in obtaining them. Would also be useful to include some material on PS $\alpha_s$ choices and settings

• The last point hopefully will ensure any conflicting views coming up
• Hadronization uncertainties
