Alouette: Yet another encapsulated TAUOLA, but revertible

Abstract

We present an algorithm for simulating reverse Monte Carlo decays given an existing forward Monte Carlo decay engine. This algorithm is implemented in the Alouette library, a TAUOLA thin wrapper for simulating decays of tau-leptons. We provide a detailed description of Alouette, as well as validation results.
