  5. MC Generator Classes Pure matrix element (ME) simulation: ! MC integration of cross section & PDFs, no hadronization ! (recall: cross section = |matrix element| 2 ⊗ phase space) " Useful for theoretical studies, no exclusive events generated " [Example: MCFM (http://mcfm.fnal.gov); many LHC processes up to NLO] Event generators: " Combination of ME and parton showers ... ! Typical: generator for leading order ME ! combined with leading log (LL) parton shower MC ! Exclusive events ! useful for experimentalists ...
