Subleading-colour effects and spin correlations in the PanScales showers

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference PaperResearch

Abstract

In the context of the PanScales parton shower project, I describe two advances in the development of final-state parton showers with controlled logarithmic accuracy. The first (Ref. [1]) involves simple new algorithms to resolve the long-standing issue of incorrect subleading-colour contributions at leading logarithmic (LL) accuracy in dipole- and antenna-type final-state showers, and also enables the PanScales showers to obtain full-colour NLL accuracy for many observables. The second (Ref. [2]) concerns spin correlations, where we propose a spinor-product based implementation of the well-established Collins algorithm. We verify the logarithmic accuracy of the results with separate purely collinear calculations, using novel spin-sensitive jet observables that are of potential interest also for future experimental measurements.

OtherThe European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP) is one of the major international conferences that reviews the field every second year since 1971 and is organised by the High Energy and Particle Physics Divison of the European Physical Society. The latest conferences in this series were held in Ghent, Venice, Vienna, Stockholm, Grenoble, Krakow, Manchester, Lisbon, Aachen

The 2021 European Physical Society conference for high energy physics will follow a purely online format. The organisation of the conference has been hosted jointly by Universität Hamburg and by the research center DESY. The conference will feature plenary, review and parallel sessions covering all major areas and developments in high energy and particle physics, astroparticle physics, neutrino physics and related areas.
