The Generalized Simplified Parton Shower Model

Abstract

We explore the consequences of considering clans real physical objects in the framework of a generalized version of the Simplified Parton Shower model for a single jet. We predict that the average number of clans at fixed energy grows linearly in rapidity and slowly decreases with energy in a fixed rapidity interval.
