Introduction
RunMC current version 4.2 (October 2007)
RunMC is an object-oriented
analysis framework to simulate
events produced in high-energy collisions using Monte Carlo models.
The core of this program is written in C/C++ using ROOT
and CLHEP
libraries, while a JAVA-based GUI provides front-end for managing
event generation.
The RunMC program can also be used together with the
HZTOOL calculations
to obtain Monte Carlo predictions for current and future experiments (HERA, LEP, ILC, Tevatron etc.).
Fast detector simulations for the ILC and LHC experiments, based on the
SIMDET
and ATLFast++ packages,
can be used to study the detector response.
RunMC can run the following FORTRAN Monte Carlo models: PYTHIA, HERWIG, ARIADNE,
LEPTO, AROMA, CASCADE, RAPGAP, PHOJET .
See contributions for details.
A short description of RunMC is available here.
For more details, see
RunMC documentation.
RunMC is a highly modular and flexible tool:
physics calculations can be loaded
to RunMC as easy as a document can be
opened in the Microsoft Word
program. See external RMC modules.
RunMC is a standalone desktop application.
It can be
installed
on the Linux and Windows/Cygwin platforms.
