  1. Modified hadronic interactions in 3-dimensional simulations

    astro-ph.HE 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 3D air-shower simulation framework with ad-hoc modified hadronic interactions is validated against 1D CONEX and full CORSIKA, with important 3D lateral effects demonstrated.

  2. Herwig 7 with the Lund String Model: Tuning and Comparative Hadronization Studies

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Lund string model tune inside Herwig 7, the LH Tune, gives competitive descriptions of many LEP and LHC observables and enables fixed-shower comparison of string vs cluster hadronization.

  3. The PYTHIA Facility

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    PYTHIA is presented as a 'big science facility' in software form: since 2018 its manuals drew ~9,600 citing works and ~47,000 unique authors across LHC, heavy-ion, flavor, astroparticle, and ML-for-physics communities.
