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:
“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the nativesfrom Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenangowith a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Dont you go believing in sayings, Picotee: they are all made by men, for their own advantages. Women who use public proverbs as a guide through events are those who have not ingenuity enough to make private ones as each event occurs.”
—Thomas Hardy (18401928)
