SHERPA-MC

MC event generator for Simulation of High-Energy Reactions of PArticles

Sherpa is a Monte Carlo event generator for the Simulation of High-Energy Reactions of PArticles in lepton-lepton, lepton-photon, photon-photon, lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron collisions. It provides complete hadronic final states in simulations of high-energy particle collisions. The produced events may be passed into detector simulations used by the various experiments. The entire code has been written in C++. Sherpa simulations can be achieved for the following types of collisions: - For lepton–lepton collisions, as explored by the CERN LEP experiments, - for lepton–photon collisions, - for photon–photon collisions with both photons either resolved or unresolved, - for deep-inelastic lepton-hadron scattering, as investigated by the HERA experiments at DESY, and, - in particular, for hadronic interactions as studied at the Fermilab Tevatron or the CERN LHC.
