Abstract

The light unflavoured meson η/η\eta/\eta^{\prime} decays are valuable for testing non-perturbative quantum chromodynamics and exploring new physics beyond the Standard Model. This paper describes a series of event generators, including η/ηγl+l\eta/\eta^{\prime}\to\gamma l^{+}l^{-}, η/ηγπ+π\eta/\eta^{\prime}\to\gamma \pi^{+}\pi^{-}, ηωe+e\eta^{\prime}\to\omega e^{+}e^{-}, ηπ+ππ0\eta\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}, η/ηπ0π0π0\eta/\eta^{\prime}\to\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}, ηηππ\eta^{\prime}\to\eta\pi\pi and ηπ+ππ+π/π+ππ0π0\eta^{\prime}\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}/\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}\pi^{0}, which have been developed for investigating η/η\eta/\eta^\prime decay dynamics. For most of these generators, their usability has been validated in BESIII analyses for determining the detection efficiency, and background studies. The consistency between data and Monte Carlo shows that these generators work well in the BESIII simulation, and will also be useful for ongoing BESIII analyses and other experiments for studying η/η\eta/\eta^\prime physics.
