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 …

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 …

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 …

A bstract We present a new model for the hadronisation of multi-parton systems, in which
colour correlations beyond leading NC are allowed to influence the formation of confining …

A bstract The modeling of color reconnection has become one of the dominant sources of
systematic uncertainty in the top mass determination at hadron colliders. The uncertainty on …

Physics and programming aspects are discussed for a Fortran 77 Monte Carlo program to
simulate complete events in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering. The parton level …

A bstract In models for hadron collisions based on string hadronization, the strings are
usually treated as independent, allowing no interaction between the confined colour fields …

This book describes the underlying ideas and modern developments of Regge theory,
confronting the theory with quantum chromodynamics and a huge variety of experimental …

A new phenomenological cluster-hadronisation model is presented. Its specific features are
the incorporation of soft colour reconnection, a more general treatment of diquarks including …

High-energy diffraction has become a hot and fashionable subject in recent years due to the
great interest triggered by the HERA and Tevatron data. These data have helped to show …
