MC-TESTER v. 1.23: A universal tool for comparisons of Monte Carlo predictions for particle decays in high energy physics

Abstract: Theoretical predictions in high energy physics are routinely provided in the form of Monte Carlo generators. Comparisons of predictions from different programs and/or different initialization set-ups are often necessary. MC-TESTER can be used for such tests of decays of intermediate states (particles or resonances) in a semi-automated way.Since 2002 new functionalities were introduced into the package. In particular, it now works with the HepMC event record, the standard for C++ programs. The complete setup fo… Show more

“…Many of the results collected there were obtained using MC-TESTER [57]. The distributions can be thus easily used for benchmarking any other Monte Carlo program independently if it is used for simulations coded in C++ or FORTRAN, provided that event record such as HEPEVT or HepMC [122] is used.…”
