Spin correlations in parton shower simulations

Abstract Spin correlations are an important, but often neglected, effect in modern Monte Carlo event generators. We show that they can be fully incorporated in Herwig7 using the algorithm originally proposed by Collins and Knowles in all stages of the event generation process and between the differe...
