We summarize essential features and improvements of the Sherpa 2.2 release series, which is heavily used for event generation in the analysis and interpretation of LHC Run 1 and Run 2 data. We highlight a decade of developments towards ever higher precision in the simulation of particle-collision events.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-05-22T13:30:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "event generation", "general-purpose monte carlo event generator", "high-energy collider experiments", "essential features", "simulation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
