摘要
This article provides an introduction to the principles of particle physics event generators that are based on the Monte Carlo method. Following some preliminaries, instructions on how to build a basic parton-level Monte Carlo event generator for the hard interaction are given through exercises. Indications on how to proceed to full-event simulations are given (the related course was given as part of the “Advanced Scientific Computing Workshop” at ETH Zürich in July 2014).
