MCnet School 2019 Herwig Tutorial
This is the main page for the Herwig tutorial at the MCnet 2019 school.
This is the tutorial for the first day of the MCnet school and 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 virtual docker image. If you plan to use Herwig for your own research after the MCnet school the instructions provided under Installation might be helpful.
Todo: check that everything works with the VM/Docker image
During the course of 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
Instructions:
- Installation
- First run: LEP
- Second run: LHC Dijets
- (Advanced) Third run: minimum bias events and soft physics
- (Advanced) The Les Houches Event Handler
