Colour Reconnection in Herwig++ — •Christian Röhr1, Stefan Gieseke1, and Andrzej Siodmok2 — 1Karlsruhe Institut of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany — 2The University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom
As the LHC's quick step-up in luminosity necessarily comes with increasing pile-up activity accompanying every event of interest, the Monte Carlo event generators have to come up with proper models of soft inclusive hadron collisions. Moreover, an irreducible background of hadronic activity, the underlying event, is adherent to the single hard hadron collisions themselves.
We report on colour reconnection in Herwig++, which provides improvements in these two fields of current research.
