We introduce the Alaric parton shower for simulating QCD radiation at hadron colliders and present numerical results from an implementation in the event generator Sherpa. Alaric provides a consistent framework to quantify certain systematic uncertainties which cannot be eliminated by comparing the parton shower with analytic resummation. In particular, it allows to study recoil effects away from the soft and collinear limits without the need to change the evolution variable or the splitting functions. We assess the performance of Alaric in Drell-Yan lepton pair and QCD jet production, and present the first multi-jet merging for the new algorithm.

  1. Double-real corrections to color singlet decay in a parton-shower inspired scheme

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A parton-shower-inspired local subtraction scheme for double-real corrections in color singlet decays is introduced, with finiteness verified for the e+e- to qqbar remainder and phase-space integrals computed analytic...

  2. Dissecting Parton Showers with Multi-Point Energy Correlators

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Projections of four-point energy correlators cleanly separate spin from kinematic azimuthal correlations inside jets; spin effects are subdominant in accessible LHC kinematics.

  3. Resonance- and Width-aware Parton Shower Evolution and NLO Matching

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A resonance- and width-aware parton shower with NLO matching is developed for e+e- to W+W- bbbar, extending beyond standard Breit-Wigner approximations, with a public SHERPA-based simulator.

  4. Studying the Infrared Behaviour of Improved Logarithmic Accuracy Parton Showers with Herwig

    Implementing improved logarithmic accuracy parton showers in Herwig reveals that differences in infrared cutoffs have important effects on hadron-level predictions and tunability.

  5. Studying the Infrared Behaviour of Improved Logarithmic Accuracy Parton Showers with Herwig

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Implementation of two NLL-accurate dipole showers in Herwig shows that differences in infrared cutoffs produce noticeable effects at the hadron level and affect model tunability.
