Description

I will present a pythia 8 plugin which generates events for strongly coupled, quasi-conformal hidden valleys, also known as "soft bombs" or "Soft Unclustered Energy Patterns (SUEP)". The code can be extended easily to handle other dark showers that are currently not yet included in pythia 8.
