| contents | We study entropy production in Deep Inelastic Scattering using Monte Carlo simulations. We show that the dominant contribution to entropy is due to soft gluons. This contribution is usually neglected in standard Monte Carlo approaches, since it does not affect hadronic spectra. However, it is relevant for entropy and multiplicity distributions, as we demonstrate with explicit calculations. We further show that as one includes soft gluons, making the Monte Carlo parton distributions closer to inclusive PDFs, the resulting entropy starts to grow with decreasing x. This provides further evidence that the bulk of the measured entropy originates from initial-state effects. |
