We review the physics basis, main features and use of general-purpose Monte Carlo event
generators for the simulation of proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider …

After an introduction motivating the study of quarkonium production, we review the recent
developments in the phenomenology of quarkonium production in inclusive scatterings of …

The Pythia program can be used to generate high-energy-physicsevents', ie sets of outgoing
particles produced in the interactions between two incoming particles. The objective is to …

This manual describes the Pythia event generator, the most recent version of an evolving
physics tool used to answer fundamental questions in particle physics. The program is most …

Pythia version 6 represents a merger of the Pythia 5, Jetset 7 and SPythia programs, with
many improvements. It can be used to generate high-energy-physics 'events', ie sets of …

Heavy long-lived quarks, ie charm and bottom, are frequently studied both as tests of QCD
and as probes for other physics aspects within and beyond the standard model. The long …

The theoretical description of heavy quarkonium production at high-energy pp and ep
colliders is reviewed. Predictions based on non-relativistic QCD factorisation are confronted …

This report is the result of the collaboration and research effort of the Quarkonium Working
Group over the last three years. It provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art …

We give an overview of the present status of knowledge of the production of J/ψ, ψ′ and ϒ
in high-energy hadron collisions. We first present two early models, namely the Color …

We present a new, universally applicable toy model of colour reconnections in hadronic final
states. The model is based on hadronising strings and has one free parameter. We next …
