Description

Parton shower simulations are typically formulated in the large-N limit, neglecting color correlations suppressed by inverse powers of N. We outline an algorithm to improve parton shower algorithms by subleading-N color correlations. Preliminary numerical results from an implementation building on recent extensions to the Herwig++ event generator are presented.
