Description
Monte-Carlo event generators have been widely used to simulate the processes in high-energy physics. Parton shower plays a central role in Monte-Carlo event generators which provides a reliable tool to perform the leading logarithms resummation. Precision prediction from parton shower requires more theory developments such as proof of NLL resummation and NLO shower framework. Beyond the resummation region, matching or merging with fixed-order calculations can improve the description of hard radiation. This talk will be aiming to give a comprehensive review of parton showers and matching/merging techniques.
