Description
We present the parton shower algorithm ALARIC that extends the coherent branching formalism and allows for a direct analytic proof of NLL accuracy by means of a suitable kinematics mapping and choice of evolution variable. Final-state and initial-state evolution are treated in a unified manner, and the matching to NLO calculations is straightforward.
We discuss the general structure of the algorithm and present new developments, such as the inclusion of massive parton evolution.
