List of Event Generators
The major event generators that are used by current experiments are:
Hadronic event generators
- PYTHIA (formerly Pythia/Jetset)
- HERWIG
- ISAJET
- SHERPA
Multi-purpose parton level generators
- MadGraph5 (able to run directly on the web site after registration and a email to the author)
Heavy ion event generators
- HIJING
Neutrino event generators
- GENIE
- NuWro
Specialized event generators
- AcerMC – LHC background processes
- ALPGEN – multiple parton processes
- Ariadne – QCD cascade with Color Dipole Model
- MC@NLO – next-to-leading-order QCD matrix elements, using HERWIG for parton shower
- JIMMY – multiple parton processes
"Meta-generator"
- CompHEP – automatic evaluation of tree level matrix elements for event generation or export into other event generators

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or event:
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“Lovers, forget your love,
And list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Surely one of the peculiar habits of circumstances is the way they follow, in their eternal recurrence, a single course. If an event happens once in a life, it may be depended upon to repeat later its general design.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
