The proposed International Linear Collider (ILC) is well-suited for discovering physics
beyond the Standard Model and for precisely unraveling the structure of the underlying …

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 …

In this paper the current release of the Monte Carlo event generator Sherpa, version 1.1, is
presented. Sherpa is a general-purpose tool for the simulation of particle collisions at high …

This paper presents a new event generator, ALPGEN, dedicated to the study of multiparton
hard processes in hadronic collisions. The code performs, at the leading order in QCD and …

We compare different procedures for combining fixed-order tree-level matrix-element
generators with parton showers. We use the case of W-production at the Tevatron and the …

We propose a method for combining QCD matrix elements and parton showers in Monte
Carlo simulations of hadronic final states in e+e− annihilation. The matrix element and …

This lecture discusses the physics implemented by Monte Carlo event generators for hadron
colliders. It details the construction of parton showers and the matching of parton showers to …

A new phenomenological cluster-hadronisation model is presented. Its specific features are
the incorporation of soft colour reconnection, a more general treatment of diquarks including …

The new multipurpose event-generation framework SHERPA, acronym for Simulation for
High-Energy Reactions of PArticles, is presented. It is entirely written in the object-oriented …

The new matrix element generator AMEGIC++ is introduced, dedicated to describe multi-
particle production in high energy particle collisions. It automatically generates helicity …
