Pythia version 7-0.0 – a proof-of-concept version

Abstract: This document describes the first proof-of-concept version of the Pythia7 program.Pythia7 is a complete re-write of the Pythia program in C++. It is mainly intended to be a replacement for the 'Lund' family of event generators, but is also a toolkit with a structure suitable for implementing any event generator model.In this document, the structure of the program is presented both from the user and the developer point of view. It is not intended to be a complete manual, but together with the documentation prov… Show more

“…The structure of the event record and the whole administrative apparatus is completely different from the current one, in order to allow a much more general and flexible formulation of the event generation process. A strategy document [Lön99] was followed by a first 'proof of concept version' in June 2000 [Ber01], containing the generic event generation machinery, some processes, and the string fragmentation routines. In the next few years, the hope is to produce useful versions, even if still limited in scope.…”

“…Work is however underway to rewrite both PYTHIA [254] and HERWIG [255] in C++. Given the new design and structure of these programs, the treatment of both spin correlation and polarization effects should be much better than in the current FORTRAN programs.…”

“…The simulation of hadronic processes requires an event generator incorporating a parton shower and hadronization. HERWIG [10], Pythia [11], and Sherpa [12] are examples. At present, event generators are available which incorporate NLO QCD, including MC@NLO [13] and POWHEG [14].…”
