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.
