Abstract

HERWIG (Hadron Emission Reactions With Interfering Gluons) is a multipurpose Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of hard collisions between hadrons, leptons and photons. This note describes the new features of version 5.9. These include adding over 100 new particles, 1800 new decay modes and supporting new decay types. A complete space-time picture, including heavy meson mixing and secondary decays, is available for all event types and includes an optional colour rearrangement model. Initial state radition of photons in e^+e^- is is now included. Many other processes and features have been upgraded.
