Herwig 7.2 Release Note

Abstract

A new release of the Monte Carlo event generator Herwig (version 7.2) is now available. This version introduces a number of improvements, notably: improvements to the simulation of multiple-parton interactions, including diffractive processes; a new model for baryonic colour re-connection; spin correlations in both the dipole and angular-ordered parton showers; improvements to strangeness production; an improved choice of evolution variable in the angular-ordered parton shower; support for generic Lorentz structures in BSM models.

Comments: 7 pages, 5 figures. Herwig is available from https://herwig.hepforge.org. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1705.06919
