Description

We present recent developments in the Monte Carloevent generator Sherpa. An extension of the CKKW algorithm for merging Matrix Elements and Parton Showers to processes including decays of heavy unstable particles is discussed. New shower algorithms based on the Catani-Seymour subtraction terms and dipole splitting functions are introduced. A new Matrix Element generator for high multiplicity processes is presented together with two new phase space integration� techniques. Applications to LHC physics are discussed.
