Description
I will describe recent progress on sector showers that consistently incorporate second-order "direct" 2->4 branchings. These showers are able to reproduce the full singularity structure of QCD through NNLO and can be matched in a very natural and fully differential way to calculations at this accuracy, provided that consistent "Born-local" K-factors can be defined. The method appears straightforward to extend to N3LO should that be desired in the future.
