Monte Carlo Event Generators
The basic lepton-quark scattering processes have well defined cross section formulae
within the electroweak standard model. With the inclusion of parton density
distributions
and perturbative QCD corrections the problem of practical evaluations become
quite complex and analytical calculations are only possible in simplified cases or through
approximations. Normal numerical methods are in many cases possible but Monte Carlo
simulation is often preferable because of its generality and applicability to complex
problems In the case of the multiparticle hadronic final state the only viable alternative is
in fact the Monte Carlo method.
We will deal with two most popular for DIS event generation programs: LEPTO and PYTHIA

Monte Carlo Techniques
First of all one assumes the existence of a random number generator. This is
a (Fortran) function which, each time it is called, returns a number R in the
range between 0 and 1, such that the inclusive distribution of numbers R is
flat in the range, and such that different numbers R are uncorrelated.
Selection From a Distribution
The situation that is probably most common is that we know a function f(x)
which is non-negative in the allowed x range xmin<x<xmin. We want to select
an x ‘at random’ so that the probability in a small interval dx around a given
x is proportional to f(x) dx. Here f(x) might be a distribution function, a
differential cross section, or any of a number of distributions.

If it is possible to find a primitive function F(x) which has a known inverse , an x can be found as follows (method 1):
The statement of the first line is that a fraction R of the total area under f(x) should be to the left of x. However, seldom are functions of interest so nice that the method above works.Special tricks can sometimes be found. Consider e.g. the generation of a Gaussian
This function is not integrable, but if we combine it with the same Gaussian distribution of a second variable y, it is possible to transform to polar coordinates
and now the r and ' distributions may be easily generated and recombined to yield x. At the same time we get a second number y, which can also be used. For the generation of transverse momenta in fragmentation, this is very convenient, since in fact we want to assign two transverse degrees of freedom.

A hit-or-miss method (method 2)
If the maximum of f(x) is known in the x range considered, then do the following:
For a more complex situations as functions with spikes or multidimensional distributions see special literature or PHYTIA manual.

LEPTO is a general and flexible Monte Carlo MC to simulate complete lepton-nucleon scattering events and integrate cross sections It is based on the leading order electroweak cross sections for the underlying parton level scattering processes.The main emphasis of LEPTO is rather on the hadronic part of the event. QCD corrections are therefore included using exact first order matrix elements and higher orders in the leading parton cascade approach. The fragmentation of produced partons into observable hadrons is performed with the Lund string hadronization model. An arbitrary configuration of a lepton and a nucleon can be defined with constraints on the scattering kinematics and the generated events can be transformed to different frames.

PYTHIA and JETSETHadronization in LEPTO is performed by JETSET
Our aim is to try to understand as much as possible the underlying physics included in LEPTO and PYTHIA
The Monte Carlo program is built as a slave system, i.e. you, the user, have to supplythe main program. From this the various subroutines are called on to execute specifictasks, after which control is returned to the main program.

How to Model Real CollisionsWhat if we want to know more detailsCannot calculate hadronization processes directly in QCD
There is no feynman diagram for q
Instead, we have models based on general properties of QCDGenerally called “fragmentation” models
Independent (ISAJET) – “Pure” FragmentationStrings (JETSET, PYTHIA) – String FragmentationCluster (HERWIG) – Phase Space Fragmentation
As time goes by, more and more QCD is incorporated into these models
Gluon radiation down to a soft momentum scale Qo
Hadronization becomes less important as scale decreases

What’s Better?When making measurements, you need to simulate real events
Detector responsePhysics acceptanceFluctuations
String & Cluster fragmentation are both used heavily by experiments – both are adequateSimple reason:
Models are *tuned* adjust parameters to fit dataMuch of the QCD-related physics is similar
DGLAP evolution is a common featureMore reliable at higher energies
Not surprising, as we use more pQCD, results are less dependent on details of npQCD part!
Still, there are results which favor one model over the other (e.g. charge-rapidity correlations)
