The Monte Carlo Event Generator AcerMC version 1.0 with interfaces to PYTHIA 6.2 and HERWIG 6.3
Description
Abstract The AcerMC Monte Carlo Event Generator is dedicated for the generation of Standard Model background processes at pp LHC collisions. The program itself provides a library of the massive matrix elements and phase space modules for generation of a set of selected processes: gg, qq̄→tt̄b b̄, qq̄W(→ℓν)b b̄, qq̄W(→ℓν)tt̄, gg, qq̄→Z/γ^* (→ℓℓ)b b̄, gg, qq̄→Z/γ^* (→ℓℓ,νν, b b̄) tt̄ and complete electroweak gg→(Z/W/γ^* →)b b̄tt̄ process. The hard process event, generated with one of these modules, can ... Title of program: AcerMC version 1.0 Catalogue Id: ADQQ_v1_0 Nature of problem Despite a large repertoire of processes implemented for generation in event generators like PYTHIA [1] or HERWIG [2] a number of background processes, crucial for studying expected physics potential of the LHC experiments is missing. For some of these processes the matrix element expressions are rather lengthy and/or to achieve a reasonable generation efficiency it is necessary to tailor the phase-space selection procedure to the dynamics of the process. That is why it is not practical to imagin ...
