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. Exploring soft anomalous dimensions for $1/Q$ power corrections

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The leading logarithmic correction to the 1/Q power correction for thrust and C-parameter is computed, with a sizeable coefficient S1 ≈ 2.455 and a universal C-to-thrust ratio of 3π/2.

  2. Sudakov evolution without unitarity

    hep-ph 2025-06 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Sunshine removes Sudakov factors from parton-shower sampling by keeping every intermediate state, giving direct tree-level expansions and enabling tests of matrix-element corrections.

  3. Dissecting Parton Showers with Multi-Point Energy Correlators

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

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

  4. Timelike showers with jet recoils

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 'jet recoil' scheme assigning momentum-balance recoil to clusters of partons chosen by angular ordering brings kt-ordered dipole parton showers to next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy, shown by fixed-order and resum...

  5. Recoil-Safe Subtraction, Matching and Merging in e+e- to hadrons

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Alaric shower is matched to NLO matrix elements and merged to five jets in e+e- to hadrons, with new analytic subtraction terms validated against Catani-Seymour subtraction.

  6. Resumming transverse observables for NNLO+PS matching in GENEVA

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A GENEVA NNLO+PS generator for b bbar H and c cbar H is built with qT resummation at N3LL and the first NLL' resummation of a transverse-measure one-jettiness.

  7. Phenomenological constraints of the building blocks of the cluster hadronization model

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors introduce matrix-element-based cluster fission and decay models and show which angularity and energy-correlation observables are most sensitive to each piece.

  8. 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.
