Algorithm: 1. "Gluonic" vetoed parton shower in the direction p q + p q evolves from m2 (gluon was born) to mq q (pair was born), g so that m2 > mq q g 2. Two quark vetoed parton showers in the directions

Simplified algorithm: 1. Two quark vetoed parton showers in the direction p q and p q evolve from m2 to t. g

It corresponds to the replacement CA to 2 CF in the coherent part, but overall contribution is NLL

p q and p q evolve from m2 q to t. q

Highest multiplicity sample

Common problem is that jets above resolution scale tini are produced by ME-generator.

Thus number of jets at tini is always smaller than Nmax maximal parton multiplicity

The solution for CKKW (for highest multiplicity sample n = Nmax ):

2

1. Generate n-parton event by ME-generator with kT > tini 2. For the construction of Sudakov factor use m2 (minimal nodal value of kT ) instead of tini n 3. Run PS with veto kT > m2 n

6. Run kT -clustering algorithm to find all jets at the resolution scale tini 7. If all the jets match primary partons then accept the event, else reject everything and go to step 1.

Each event generated by ME with reweighting yields a showered events

Some events generated by ME are rejected that is equivalent to the CKKW reweighting sH0L sn n

MLM-like algorithm

jet found

Matched, accepted

Mismatched, rejected

MLM doesn't use analytic Sudakov factors nor vetoed PS. (rejection probability is Sudakov factor calculated by MC-integration)

ME-generator can produce sample with another (relaxed ?) separation among partons (like DR jj > Rmin). Then one can use simple jet cone algorithm with cone size Rmin to find jets.

If the distance between the parton and the jet centroid is smaller than Rmin , the parton and the jet match

Mismatched, but can be acepted for highest multiplicity sample
