abstract
We outline a new formalism for dipole-type parton showers which maintain exact energy-momentum conservation at each step of the evolution. Particular emphasis is put on the coherence properties, the level at which recoil effects do enter and the role of transverse momentum generation from initial state radiation. The formulated algorithm is shown to correctly incorporate coherence for soft gluon radiation. Furthermore, it is well suited for easing matching to next-to-leading order calculations.

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.
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.
A primer that surveys the architecture, methodologies, computational challenges, and future trajectory of the Monte Carlo event generator ecosystem in collider physics.
