QCD jet evolution at high and low scales

This thesis deals with a broad range of aspects that concern the simulation of QCD jet physics by Monte Carlo event generators. Phenomenological work is presented in validating the CKKW approach for merging tree-level matrix elements and parton showers. In the second part the main project is documented comprising the definition, realization and verification of a new QCD colour-dipole cascade. Finally, a new cluster-hadronization model is introduced.
