Description

Parton showers are important tools in the event generation chain for future collider. Recently, their formally achieved accuracy has been under extended scrutiny. In this talk I will present a novel take on dipole parton showers [1], resulting in the design of a new parton shower called Alaric that is implemented in the Sherpa framework. I will discuss its resummation properties and show analytic and numerical proofs of its NLL accuracy. I will discuss the latest developments, see [2], and their implications for final state evolution.
