Abstract

The GR@PPA event generator has been updated to version 2.7. This distribution provides event generators for VV (WW or ZZ) + jets (\leq 4 jets), VVVV + jets (\leq 2 jets) and QCD multi-jet (\leq 4 jets) production processes at pppp and ppˉp\bar{p} collisions, in addition to the four bottom quark productions implemented in our previous work (GR@PPA\_4b). Also included are the top-pair and top-pair + jet production processes, where the correlation between the decay products are fully reproduced at the tree level. Namely, processes up to seven-body productions can be simulated, based on ordinary Feynman diagram calculations at the tree level. In this version, the GR@PPA framework and the process dependent matrix-element routines are separately provided. This makes it easier to add further new processes, and allows users to make a choice of processes to implement. This version also has several new features to handle complicated multi-body production processes. A systematic way to combine many subprocesses to a single base-subprocess has been introduced, and a new method has been adopted to calculate the color factors of complicated QCD processes. They speed up the calculation significantly.
