abstract
The new multipurpose event-generation framework SHERPA, acronym for Simulation for High-Energy Reactions of PArticles, is presented. It is entirely written in the object-oriented programming language C++. In its current form, it is able to completely simulate electron--positron and unresolved photon--photon collisions at high energies. Also, fully hadronic collisions, such as, e.g., proton--anti-proton, proton--proton, or resolved photon--photon reactions, can be described on the signal level.

First automated MC@NLO matching of NLO QCD+EW to an interleaved QCD+QED parton shower with resonance-aware dipole subtraction, validated for Drell-Yan lepton-pair production.
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.
