APACIC++, A Parton Cascade in C++

Abstract

In this talk the newly developped Monte-Carlo event generator {\tt APACIC++} suitable to describe multijet-events in high-energetic electron-positron annihilations is presented. A new ansatz to match the corresponding matrix elements for the production of jets via the strong and electroweak interactions to the subsequent parton shower modelling the inner-jet evolution is discussed in some detail. Results obtained with {\tt APACIC++} are compared to other QCD event generators and to some representative experimental data.
