A matching of matrix elements and parton showers
Abstract
We propose a simple scheme to start a parton-shower evolution description from a given jet configuration in e+ e- annihilation events. This allows a convenient combination of the full angular information content of matrix elements with the detailed sub-jet structure of parton showers, and should give a realistic overall description of event properties. Explicit studies with this hybrid approach are presented for the four-jet case, as a simple testing ground of the ideas.
