The paper presents a method of modeling events with anomalous fermionboson couplings by means of an auxiliary vector fields in addition to the SM gauge filed. The method allows to simulate anomalous gauge couplings in different approaches, keeping only the linear order or higher order contributions of the anomalous couplings. The correctness of proposed method is demonstrated by modeling the single top quark production processes with anomalous W tb couplings.

“…Also such samples should be accessible in a standardized manner to be easily imported and used in experiments' software environments. The main motivation behind the LCG MCDB project [26,33] is to make the sophisticated Monte Carlo event samples and their structured descriptions available for various groups of physicists working at the LHC. All these data from MCDB are accessible for endusers in several convenient ways from Grid, on the Web, and via an application program interface.…”

In this paper we describe a HepML format and a corresponding C++ library developed for keeping complete description of parton level events in a unified and flexible form. HepML tags contain enough information to understand what kind of physics the simulated events describe and how the events have been prepared. A HepML block can be included into event files in the LHEF format. The structure of the HepML block is described by means of several XML Schemas. The Schemas define necessary information for the HepML block and how this information should be located within the block. The library libhepml is a C++ library intended for parsing and serialization of HepML tags, and representing the HepML block in computer memory. The library is an API for external software. For example, Matrix Element Monte Carlo event generators can use the library for preparing and writing a header of a LHEF file in the form of HepML tags. In turn, Showering and Hadronization event generators can parse the HepML header and get the information in the form of C++ classes. libhepml can be used in C++, C, and Fortran programs. All necessary parts of HepML have been prepared and we present the project to the HEP community.

“…The LCG MCDB project has been created to facilitate communication between experts/authors of MC generators and users of the programs in the LHC collaborations. The current version of LCG MCDB [1,2] provides flexible infrastructure to share event samples and keep the files in a reliable and convenient way. It has several interfaces, mainly Web-based, which help to carry out routine operations with the stored samples by users and authors of the samples.…”
