Evolutionary Synthesis Modelling of Young Star Clusters in Merging Galaxies

The observational properties of globular cluster systems (GCSs) are vital tools to investigate the violent star formation histories of their host galaxies. This violence is thought to have been triggered by galaxy interactions or mergers. The most basic pr
