Constructing Parton Shower Simulations

Monte Carlo event generators (MCs) provide simulations of complex collider events, and are essential for designing and comprehending the results of experiments, such as the ones done at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In particular, the inclusion of radiation via Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is absolutely crucial in order to fully describe a collision. Parton showers can achieve this in MCs, incorporating the cascade of multiple QCD emissions in an approximate manner, at a higher accuracy than fixed order calculations. In this talk, we will introduce the theoretical underpinnings of parton shower formalism, and present the first-ever parton shower implemented in the Julia programming language, designed to be fast and robust, and employ it to describe real experimental data.
