We begin by reviewing how NLL accuracy is achieved in modern parton showers—highlighting the recent Sherpa implementation—and then introduce our new information-theoretic matching framework to achieve beyond NLL accuracy. By minimizing a Kullback–Leibler functional under constraints set by precision QCD input observables (including theory uncertainties), we embed high-order predictions into...
