abstract

Parton showers have become a standard component in the description of high-energy collisions. Nowadays most final-state ones are of the dipole character, wherein a pair of partons branches into three, with energy and momentum preserved inside this subsystem. For initial-state showers a dipole picture is also possible and commonly used, but the older global-recoil strategy remains a valid alternative, wherein larger groups of partons share the energy--momentum preservation task. In this article we introduce and implement a dipole picture also for initial-state radiation in PYTHIA, and compare with the existing global-recoil one, and with data. For the case of Deeply Inelastic Scattering we can directly compare with matrix element expressions and show that the dipole picture gives a very good description over the whole phase space, at least for the first branching.

A generalised-$k_t$ jet algorithm for Deep Inelastic Scattering

hep-ph · 2026-06-11 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The authors define a generalised-k_t jet algorithm family for DIS in the Breit frame, extending the prior p=0 case, and test its use for struck-quark jet identification and non-perturbative effects.

Photoproduction in general-purpose event generators

hep-ph · 2024-06-12 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Systematic comparison of three event generators shows they describe photoproduction data adequately, with PYTHIA and SHERPA performing best, and identifies photon PDF refits plus RIVET measurements as prerequisites for EIC precision.
