Introduction: Shower Monte Carlo generators

Shower Monte Carlo (SMC) event generators can simulate fully realistic collider events, being able to reproduce much of the data from LHC and its predecessors at high accuracy.

which is the logharitmic accuracy of parton showers?

The naive expectation is that parton showers are LL accurate, almost NLL. From Pythia manual: “While the final product is still not certified fully to comply with a NLO/NLL standard, it is well above the level of an unsophisticated LO/LL analytic calculation.” From Bewick etal. (v2) “In general defining a strict logarithmic accuracy for a parton shower algorithm is difficult. Formally the parton shower is only accurate at leading, or double logarithmic, accuracy. However, a number of phenomenologically important, but formally subleading effects are included.”

pT can become negative also in the dot-scheme; g → q¯ q: argument of αs and ordering condition for massive q; b-quark fragmentation (does it depend on the PS or on the hadronization model?);
