An Introduction to PYTHIA 8.2

TL;DR: Pythia 8.2 is the second main release after the complete rewrite from Fortran to C++, and now has reached such a maturity that it offers a complete replacement for most applications, notably for LHC physics studies.

Parton distributions from high-precision collider data

TL;DR: NNPDF31 as discussed by the authors is the first global set of PDFs determined using a methodology validated by a closure test, which is motivated by recent progress in methodology and available data, and involves both on the methodological side, parametrize and determine the charm PDF alongside the light-quark and gluon ones, thereby increasing from seven to eight the number of independent PDFs.

EPOS LHC: Test of collective hadronization with data measured at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the changes required to the model to reproduce in detail the new data available from LHC and the consequences in the interpretation of these data, in particular the effect of the collective hadronization in p-p scattering.

Parton distributions from high-precision collider data

TL;DR: A new set of parton distributions, NNPDF3.1, is presented, which updates NN PDF3.0, the first global set of PDFs determined using a methodology validated by a closure test, and investigates the impact of parametrizing charm and evidence that the accuracy and stability of the PDFs are improved.

PYTHIA 6.4 Physics and Manual

TL;DR: The Pythia program as mentioned in this paper can be used to generate high-energy-physics ''events'' (i.e. sets of outgoing particles produced in the interactions between two incoming particles).

A Brief Introduction to PYTHIA 8.1

TL;DR: PYTHIA 8 represents a complete rewrite in C++, and does not yet in every respect replace the old code, but does contain some new physics aspects that should make it an attractive option especially for LHC physics studies.

Event generation with SHERPA 1.1

TL;DR: Sherpa as mentioned in this paper is a general-purpose tool for the simulation of particle collisions at high-energy colliders and contains a very flexible tree-level matrix-element generator for the calculation of hard scattering processes within the Standard Model and various new physics models.
