We introduce a simple procedure that resolves the long-standing question of how to account for single-logarithmic spin-correlation effects in parton showers not just in the collinear limit, but also in the soft wide-angle limit, at leading colour. We discuss its implementation in the context of the PanScales family of parton showers, where it complements our earlier treatment of the purely collinear spin correlations. Comparisons to fixed-order matrix elements help validate our approach up to third order in the strong coupling, and an appendix demonstrates the small size of residual subleading-colour effects. To help probe wide-angle soft spin correlation effects, we introduce a new declustering-based non-global spin-sensitive observable, the first of its kind. Our showers provide a reference for its single-logarithmic resummation. The work in this paper represents the last step required for final-state massless showers to satisfy the broad PanScales next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy goals.

    Calculates decoherence from radiation on a Bell-state fermion pair by mapping integrated Altarelli-Parisi splitting functions to Kraus operators of an open quantum system.

  3. Dissecting Parton Showers with Multi-Point Energy Correlators

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

    Implementing improved logarithmic accuracy parton showers in Herwig reveals that differences in infrared cutoffs have important effects on hadron-level predictions and tunability.

    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.
