The mcplots.cern.ch web site (MCPLOTS) provides a simple online repository of plots made with high-energy-physics event generators, comparing them to a wide variety of experimental data. The repository is based on the HEPDATA online database of experimental results and on the RIVET Monte Carlo analysis tool. The repository is continually updated and relies on computing power donated by volunteers, via the LHC@HOME platform.

  1. Configuration and Benchmarking of $\mathrm{e}^+\mathrm{e}^-$ Processes with K4GeneratorsConfig

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0

    K4GeneratorsConfig automates the configuration and benchmarking of e+e- Monte Carlo generators, showing sub-permil agreement among three generators at LO.

  2. The PYTHIA Facility

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 4.0

    PYTHIA is presented as a 'big science facility' in software form: since 2018 its manuals drew ~9,600 citing works and ~47,000 unique authors across LHC, heavy-ion, flavor, astroparticle, and ML-for-physics communities.

  3. An Introduction to PYTHIA 8.2

    hep-ph 2014-10 accept novelty 4.0

    PYTHIA 8.2 is a mature C++ event generator that combines hard processes, parton showers, multiparton interactions, and string fragmentation into a complete simulation framework for high-energy collisions.
