This tutorial teaches you the basics of the Monte Carlo Event Generator Herwig. An installation of Herwig on your own device is not necessary if you use the provided docker image (see next section). If you plan to use Herwig for your own research follow the instructions provided under [[ https://phab.hepforge.org/w/mcnet2019/installation/ | Installation ]] . In this tutorial you will learn: How to simulate LEP events How to simulate LHC events How to include rivet analyses and compare simulation with data How to switch parts of the Event Generator on and off How to modify parameters of the Parton shower and the Hadronization model The Les Houches Event Handler ==Before you start (docker containers)== All exercises within this tutorial can be done by using the provided docker image for Herwig. If you have not already installed docker, please follow the instructions on the [[https://docs.docker.com/install/ | docker website]] and install docker on your device. The required docker containers can be pulled directly from the [[https://hub.docker.com/ | Docker Hub]] with docker pull herwigcollaboration/herwig-7.3:7.3.0 Linux users: sudo docker ... In order to run Herwig, execute the following shell command docker run -i --rm -u `id -u $USER`:`id -g` -v $PWD:$PWD -w $PWD herwigcollaboration/herwig-7.3:7.3.0 Herwig --help This allows the container to access your local files and to write to the current working directory Create an alias for the run command with alias DRH='docker run -i --rm -u `id -u $USER`:`id -g` -v $PWD:$PWD -w $PWD herwigcollaboration/herwig-7.3:7.3.0' To run Herwig execute DRH Herwig Similar commands like **rivet-mkhtml** can be run in the same fashion DRH rivet-mkhtml If this works, you are ready to start the tutorial with [[ https://phab.hepforge.org/w/mcnet2019/firstrun/ | First run: LEP]].
