Angular-ordered parton showers with medium-modified splitting functions
Modified Altarelli–Parisi splitting functions were lately proposed to model multi-parton radiation in a dense medium and describe jet quenching, one of most striking features of heavy-ion collisions. We implement mediummodified splitting functions in the HERWIG parton shower algorithm, which satisfies the angular ordering prescription, and present a few partonlevel results, such as transverse m...
متن کاملA modified CKKW matrix element merging approach to angular-ordered parton showers
A modified version of the CKKW matrix element merging algorithm is presented, suitable for use in an angular-ordered parton shower, using truncated showers and forced splittings. The algorithm is implemented in the Herwig++ Monte Carlo event generator for the benchmark process e+e− → hadrons. Results are presented at parton and hadron levels, demonstrating a smooth merging between the matrix el...
متن کاملAngular ordering and parton showers for non-global QCD observables
We study the mismatch between a full calculation of non-global singlelogarithms in the large-Nc limit and an approximation based on free azimuthal averaging, and the consequent angular-ordered pattern of soft gluon radiation in QCD. We compare the results obtained in either case to those obtained from the parton showers in the Monte Carlo event generators HERWIG and PYTHIA, with the aim of asse...
متن کاملMultiplicity distributions for jet parton showers in a medium
The “jet-quenching” interpretation of suppressed high-pT hadron production at RHIC implies that jet multiplicity distributions and jet-like particle correlations in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC differ strongly from those seen at ee or pp (pp̄) colliders. Here, we present an approach for describing the changes induced by the medium, which implements jet quenching as a probabilistic medium...
متن کاملCoherent Parton Showers with Local Recoils
We outline a new formalism for dipole-type parton showers which maintain exact energy-momentum conservation at each step of the evolution. Particular emphasis is put on the coherence properties, the level at which recoil effects do enter and the role of transverse momentum generation from initial state radiation. The formulated algorithm is shown to correctly incorporate coherence for soft gluo...
