High-Energy-Physics Event Generation with PYTHIA 6.1
read the original abstract
PYTHIA version 6 represents a merger of the PYTHIA 5, JETSET 7 and SPYTHIA programs, with many improvements. It can be used to generate high-energy-physics `events', i.e. sets of outgoing particles produced in the interactions between two incoming particles. The objective is to provide as accurate as possible a representation of event properties in a wide range of reactions. The underlying physics is not understood well enough to give an exact description; the programs therefore contain a combination of analytical results and various models. The emphasis in this article is on new aspects, but a few words of general introduction are included. Further documentation is available on the web.

The anti-k_t jet clustering algorithm
The anti-k_t algorithm yields conical jets with equal active and passive areas, zero area anomalous dimensions, rigid-boundary non-global logarithms, and a universal Milan factor, serving as an IRC-safe substitute for...

An Introduction to PYTHIA 8.2
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.
