abstract
We introduce a new color decomposition for multi-parton amplitudes in QCD, free of fundamental-representation matrices and structure constants. This decomposition has a physical interpretation in terms of the flow of color, which makes it ideal for merging with shower Monte-Carlo programs. The color-flow decomposition allows for very efficient evaluation of amplitudes with many quarks and gluons, many times faster than the standard color decomposition based on fundamental-representation matrices. This will increase the speed of event generators for multi-jet processes, which are the principal backgrounds to signals of new physics at colliders.

A new Mathematica package computes tree amplitudes with arbitrary gauge bosons and arbitrarily charged massless fermions by reducing distinct-flavor partial amplitudes to linear combinations of single-flavor supersymmetric Yang-Mills components.
A primer by six leading developers maps the full Monte Carlo chain (matrix elements, parton showers, hadronisation, detector simulation, tuning, analysis) and the computing and reproducibility issues that come with it.
