PYTHIA 8
Welcome to PYTHIA - The Lund Monte Carlo!
PYTHIA 8
is still at an early stage, and should not be
used for any production runs. What is offered here is only a snapshot,
to allow interested users to provide feedback on the basic structure.
The program is under active development, however, and is intended to
replace the existing PYTHIA 6
within the next few years.
Use the left-hand index to navigate in the existing documentation,
e.g. to learn with flags, modes and parameters can be set by the user.
Also note that a separate brief introduction exists (as a pdf file),
that offers the best way to get to understand the basic structure of
PYTHIA 8
. The current pages offer the more detailed picture,
with the corresponding danger of then losing overview.
