abstract
A major new release of the Monte Carlo event generator Herwig++ (version 3.0) is now available. This release marks the end of distinguishing Herwig++ and HERWIG development and therefore constitutes the first major release of version 7 of the Herwig event generator family. The new version features a number of significant improvements to the event simulation, including: built-in NLO hard process calculation for all Standard Model processes, with matching to both angular-ordered and dipole shower modules via both subtractive (MC@NLO-type) and multiplicative (Powheg-type) algorithms; QED radiation and spin correlations in the angular ordered shower; a consistent treatment of perturbative uncertainties within the hard process and parton showering. Several of the new features will be covered in detail in accompanying publications, and an update of the manual will follow in due course.

Computes two-loop jet functions for N=4,5,6 projected energy correlators enabling NNLL collinear resummation matched to NLO in e+e- and Higgs-to-gluons processes, with non-perturbative corrections from two universal soft matrix elements.
Scaling laws hold logarithmically for model size in autoregressive jet generation, with next-token loss correlating to physical metrics via sliced Wasserstein distance, but show weaker scaling for dataset size and compute due to rapid saturation.
Nested-GPT is an autoregressive Transformer surrogate that generates variable-multiplicity parton showers while enforcing ordered Markovian branching and matches reference Monte Carlo results for leading-log non-global logarithm resummation in the large-Nc limit.
Differential W to muon neutrino cross-section measurement at 5.02 TeV with proof-of-principle W mass extraction from corrected distributions.
NLO QCD plus parton-shower matched implementation for VBF Higgs plus photon production, with studies showing small shower effects on Higgs observables and larger effects on sub-leading jets.
Top quark mass measured at 172.17 ± 1.56 GeV via unbinned maximum-likelihood fit to m(ℓ μ⁺μ⁻) in ATLAS Run 2 data using J/ψ decays.
ATLAS reports a new measurement of the Higgs signal strength in the VBF plus photon channel with H to bb decay, obtaining 0.2 ± 0.7 using an improved neural-network-based analysis on 133 fb^{-1} of data.
Electroweak diboson plus high-mass dijet production observed at 7.4 sigma with signal strength 1.28, plus first semileptonic-channel limits on S02, T0 and M0 Wilson coefficients.
Differential cross sections for ttbar production in e+e-, mu+mu-, and e mu channels measured versus dineutrino pT and azimuthal separation using 138 fb-1 of 13 TeV CMS data, unfolded to particle level with unregularized least squares and found consistent with SM and MC predictions.
Deep learning on all particles via holistic analysis and Advanced Color Singlet Identification improves Higgs signal extraction up to sixfold in high-energy collisions.
No evidence for charginos and neutralinos in R-parity violating Higgs-decay channels; masses 150-1100 GeV excluded at 95% CL assuming equal lepton branching fractions.
Updated ATLAS search for HH → bbγγ with 308 fb⁻¹ yields observed μ_HH = 0.9^{+1.4}_{-1.1}, 95% CL limit μ_HH < 3.7, and κ_λ in [-1.6, 6.6].
ATLAS reports a measurement of high-mass ttbar ll production with no observed deviation from the Standard Model and derives EFT constraints on four-fermion operators from 140 fb^{-1} of Run 2 data.
Effective TMD parton distributions are derived from PYTHIA8 and HERWIG6 parton showers and compared with those from the Parton Branching method.
New CMS PYTHIA 8 tunes using NLO or NNLO PDFs describe minimum-bias, underlying-event, and jet data in top-quark pair events at a level comparable to LO-based tunes.
Comparative analysis of published jet quenching data shows radius dependence differs between single-jet and dijet selections and between experiments, but fractional energy loss S_loss reduces sensitivity to the pp spectral shape for cross-experiment comparisons.
Systematic comparison of three event generators shows they describe photoproduction data adequately, with PYTHIA and SHERPA performing best, and identifies photon PDF refits plus RIVET measurements as prerequisites for EIC precision.
Reviews selected challenges in Monte Carlo event generators for future lepton colliders including electroweak corrections, initial-state radiation, beam dynamics, perturbative QCD and non-perturbative modelling.
The document reports the first year of activity of the VBSCan COST Action network on vector-boson scattering phenomenology and experiments from a 2018 workshop.
