// This is a simple test program, equivalent to main101.cc, but using the
// Angantyr model for Heavy Ion collisions. It is still proton collisions,
// but uses the Angantyr impact parameter description to select collisions.
// It studies the charged multiplicity distribution at the LHC.

// Optionally (by compiling with the flag -DRIVET and linking with rivet
// - see output of the command "rivet-config --cppflags --libs" -
// it will send the event to Rivet for an ATLAS jet-analysis.
