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)
“Lovers, forget your love,
And list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“It is known that Whistler when asked how long it took him to paint one of his “nocturnes” answered: “All of my life.” With the same rigor he could have said that all of the centuries that preceded the moment when he painted were necessary. From that correct application of the law of causality it follows that the slightest event presupposes the inconceivable universe and, conversely, that the universe needs even the slightest of events.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
