abstract

We carry out extensive tests of the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy of the PanScales parton showers, as introduced recently for colour-singlet production in hadron collisions. The tests include comparisons to (semi-)analytic NLL calculations of a wide range of hadron-collider observables: the colour-singlet boson transverse momentum distribution; global and non-global hadronic energy flow variables related to jet vetoes and analogues of jettiness distributions; (sub)jet multiplicities; and observables sensitive to the DGLAP evolution of the incoming momentum fractions. In the tests, we also include an implementation of a standard transverse-momentum ordered dipole shower, to establish the size of missing NLL effects in such showers, which, depending on the observable, can reach $100\%$. This paper, together with arXiv:2205.02237, constitutes the first step towards process-independent NLL-accurate parton showers for hadronic collisions.

  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. Resonance-aware parton-shower matching for off-shell top-antitop production with semi-leptonic decays at electron-positron colliders

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A resonance-aware MC@NLO matching procedure preserves top-antitop line shapes when NLO QCD predictions for off-shell ttbar production at e+e− colliders are showered with Pythia8.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    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...

  6. 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.

  7. Soft-gluon coupling and the TMD parton branching Sudakov form factor

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The parton branching TMD framework is upgraded from NLL to NNLL accuracy using the soft-gluon physical coupling, with the Collins-Soper kernel evaluated at NNLL.
