Pythia Event Generator
Purpose
Provides expert guidance on Pythia event generation for high-energy physics, including process configuration, hadronization, and shower matching.
Capabilities
- Process selection and configuration
- Parton distribution function management
- Hadronization and decay settings
- Underlying event tuning
- HepMC output generation
