Recent updates in the Sherpa event generator — •Mareen Hoppe¹, Stefan Höche², Marek Schönherr³, and Frank Siegert¹ — ¹Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics, TUD Dresden University of Technology, Germany — ²Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, USA — ³Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology, Durham University, UK

Sherpa is a general-purpose Monte-Carlo event-generator for particle collisions in high-energy collider experiments. It is able to provide complete hadronic final states for various processes with hard scattering process calculation up to NLO QCD and approximate NLO EW. During this talk, some recent updates in the Sherpa matrix element generation are presented including progress in the simulation of polarized cross sections of intermediate particle states at higher orders.
