Future prospects for parton showers

Abstract

In this brief Snowmass White Paper for the Theory Frontier, we argue that there have been important recent developments in the algorithms used to generate a simulated parton shower and that further progress can be achieved in the coming decade. A much more detailed exposition can be found in a corresponding White Paper of the Energy Frontier.

Comments: Contribution to Snowmass 2021. Revised version has a revised author list, slightly revised text, and a few added references
