It is based on the calculation of the exact tree-level matrix element of the four-fermion reaction and includes initial-state radiation in the leading-log approximation within the structure function approach. The program can be used in a two-fold way: as a Monte Carlo integrator for weighted events, providing predictions for the total cross section, the $W$ invariant-mass distribution, the radiative energy and invariant-mass loss; as a true event generator of unweighted events, useful for simulation purposes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1995-06-01T17:34:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "monte carlo event generator", "four-fermion production", "exact tree-level matrix element", "total cross section", "monte carlo integrator" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Comput.
