High-energy cosmic rays are observed indirectly by detecting the extensive air showers
initiated in Earth's atmosphere. The interpretation of these observations relies on accurate …

This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-
energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum …

The ratio of the B s 0 and B 0 fragmentation fractions, fs/fd, in proton-proton collisions at the
LHC, is obtained as a function of B-meson transverse momentum and collision center-of …

At the CERN LHC [1], an efficient classification of hadronic decays of heavy standard-model
(SM) particles (objects) that are reconstructed within a single jet would provide a significant …

The success of the physics programme of the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC requires
the particles created in the LHC collisions to be reconstructed and identified as accurately as …

This manual describes the Pythia event generator, the most recent version of an evolving
physics tool used to answer fundamental questions in particle physics. The program is most …

Abstract The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a powerful tool for a
variety of physics topics. The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux …

We present an updated set of parameters for the PYTHIA 8 event generator. We reevaluate
the constraints imposed by LEP and SLD on hadronization, in particular with regard to heavy …

A bstract We present a new model for the hadronisation of multi-parton systems, in which
colour correlations beyond leading NC are allowed to influence the formation of confining …

Abstract Epos is a Monte Carlo event generator for minimum bias hadronic interactions,
used for both heavy ion interactions and cosmic ray air shower simulations. Since the last …
