QCD is an extensively developed and tested gauge theory, which models the strong interactions in the high-energy regime. In this talk, I shall review the considerable progress which has been achieved in the last few years in the most…
The fast Monte Carlo procedure of hadron generation developed in our previous work is extended to describe noncentral collisions of nuclei. We consider different possibilities to introduce appropriate asymmetry of the freeze-out…
We study the differences in the gamma ray spectra simulated by four Monte Carlo event generator packages developed in particle physics. Two different versions of PYTHIA and two of HERWIG are analyzed, namely PYTHIA 6.418 and HERWIG 6.5.10…
We present an event-by-event analysis of the cluster structure of final multihadron states resulting from heavy ion collisions. A comparison of experimental data with the states obtained from Monte Carlo generators is shown. The analysis of…
We present a Monte-Carlo implementation of the Statistical Hadronization Model in e+e- collisions. The physical scheme is based on the statistical hadronization of massive clusters produced by the event generator Herwig within the…
The Monte Carlo program {\tt WWGENPV}, designed for computing distributions and generating events for the four-fermion process $e^+ e^- \to W^+ W^- \to 4f$, is described. It is based on the calculation of the exact tree-level matrix element…
Monte Carlo simulations were made for a possible DIRC at the WASA detector at COSY. A statistical method for pattern recognition is presented and the possible angle resolution and velocity precision achieved are discussed.
This note presents an overview of general-purpose and specific Monte-Carlo event generators used in the simulation of the CERN - CHORUS experiment, aiming to search for $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_{\tau}$ oscillations and charm particle decays in an…

A new release of the Monte Carlo program Herwig++ (version 2.3) is now available. This version includes a number of improvements including: the extension of the program to lepton-hadron collisions; the inclusion of several processes…
The AcerMC Monte Carlo generator gives a possibility to generate some of the Standard Model background processes which were recognised as very dangerous for the searches at LHC, and generation of which was either unavailable or not…
The Moriond conference on QCD and High Energy Interactions has been a most exciting and interesting event once more. This year's edition has been characterized by a very large amount of new results from the LHC experiments. However, also…
A general introduction is given in chapter 1. Chapter 2 outlines the main features of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and the theoretical motivations for going beyond it. We subsequently provide brief descriptions of a few…
Event generators are an indispensable tool for the preparation and analysis of particle-physics experiments. In this contribution, physics principles underlying the construction of such computer programs are discussed. Results, within and…
Production of the leptophilic Z' boson at future colliders was proposed as one of the benchmark Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios for the Physics Briefing Book prepared for the 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle…
We show that the effects of quantum interference can be implemented in Monte-Carlo generators by modelling the generalized Wigner functions. A specific prescription for an appropriate modification of the weights of events produced by…
Hadron cascade model is an essential part of Monte Carlo neutrino event generators that governs final state interactions of knocked-out nucleons and produced pions. It is shown that such model enriched with physically motivated…
We summarize the activities in working group 10 concerned with QCD cascades, and find that although much work still needs to be done, much progress was made during this workshop in understanding the merits and deficiencies of different…
We summarize recent progress in next-to-leading order QCD calculations made using the Monte Carlo MCFM. In particular, we focus on the calculations of p anti-p -> W b-bbar, Z b-bbar and highlight the significant corrections to background…
Recently a two-Higgs-doublet model with maximal symmetry under generalised CP transformations, the MCPM, has been proposed. The theory features a unique fermion mass spectrum which, although not describing nature precisely, provides a good…
