Parton-shower simulations of R-parity violating supersymmetric models

Abstract

We study the colour connection structure of R-parity violating decays and production cross sections, and construct a Monte Carlo simulation of these processes including colour coherence effects. We then present some results from the implementation of these processes in the HERWIG Monte Carlo event generator. We include the matrix elements for the two-body sfermion and three-body gaugino and gluino decays as well as the two-to-two resonant hard production processes in hadron-hadron collisions.
