Hadron-ion collisions in Pythia and the vector-meson dominance model for photoproduction
Ilkka Helenius, Marius Utheim
We present an extension to the Pythia Monte Carlo event generator that enables simulations of collisions between a generic hadron beam on a nuclear target with energy variation in…
A comprehensive guide to the physics and usage of PYTHIA 8.3
Christian Bierlich, Smita Chakraborty, Nishita Desai +11
This manual describes the PYTHIA 8.3 event generator, the most recent version of an evolving physics tool used to answer fundamental questions in particle physics. The program is m…
Event Generators for High-Energy Physics Experiments
J. M. Campbell, M. Diefenthaler, T. J. Hobbs +209
We provide an overview of the status of Monte-Carlo event generators for high-energy particle physics. Guided by the experimental needs and requirements, we highlight areas of acti…
Hadron Interactions for Arbitrary Energies and Species, with Applications to Cosmic rays
Torbjörn Sjöstrand, Marius Utheim
The Pythia event generator is used in several contexts to study hadron and lepton interactions, notably and collisions. In this article we extend the hadronic model…
Forming Molecular States with Hadronic Rescattering
Philip Ilten, Marius Utheim
A method for modelling the prompt production of molecular states using the hadronic rescattering framework of the general-purpose Pythia event generator is introduced. Production c…
Hadronic Rescattering in pA and AA Collisions
Christian Bierlich, Torbjörn Sjöstrand, Marius Utheim
In a recent article we presented a model for hadronic rescattering, and some results were shown for pp collisions at LHC energies. In order to extend the studies to pA and AA colli…
A Framework for Hadronic Rescattering in pp Collisions
Torbjörn Sjöstrand, Marius Utheim
In this article, a framework for hadronic rescattering in the general-purpose Pythia event generator is introduced. The starting point is the recently presented space-time picture…
QCD Challenges from pp to A-A Collisions
J. Adolfsson, A. Andronic, C. Bierlich +37
This paper is a write-up of the ideas that were presented, developed and discussed at the third International Workshop on QCD Challenges from pp to A-A, which took place in August…
