Description

ECS Lightning talk

We explore the behaviour of the running coupling within the Hidden Valley module of Pythia at a high number of flavours, finding that the current implementation cannot accurately simulate the expected behaviour. The unique IR behaviour at a high number of flavours allows us to demonstrate the first steps for finding a running coupling which matches the expected behaviour.
