PYTHIA is a general-purpose event generator for multiparticle production in high-energy physics. After a general introduction and program news survey, some areas of recent physics progress are considered: the matching to matrix elements,…
We present and discuss the generator setup for e+e- -> 4f processes chosen by the DELPHI collaboration. The need to combine the most recent theoretical achievements in the CC03 sector with the state of the art description of the remaining…
The general-purpose self-adapting Monte Carlo (MC) event generator/simulator mFOAM (standing for mini-FOAM) is a new compact version of the FOAM program, with a slightly limited functionality with respect to its parent version. On the other…
A new release of the Monte Carlo program Herwig++ (version 2.0) is now available. This is the first version of the program which can be used for hadron-hadron physics and includes the full simulation of both initial- and final-state QCD…
We present the comparisons of two independent Monte Carlo event generators, HORACE and WINHAC, for single-W-boson production in hadronic collisions with multiphoton effects in leptonic W decays. These comparisons were performed first at the…
