Improving the simulation of quark and gluon jets with Herwig 7

Abstract The properties of quark and gluon jets, and the differences between them, are increasingly important at the LHC. However, Monte Carlo event generators are normally tuned to data from $$e^+e^-$$ e + e - collisions which are primarily sensitive to quark-initiated jets. In order to improve the...
