QCDINS 2.0 – A Monte Carlo generator for instanton-induced processes in deep-inelastic scattering ☆
Description
Abstract We describe a Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of QCD-instanton induced processes in deep-inelastic scattering (HERA). The QCDINS package is designed as an “add-on” hard process generator interfaced to the general hadronic event simulation package HERWIG. It incorporates the theoretically predicted production rate for instanton-induced events as well as the essential characteristics that have been derived theoretically for the partonic final state of instanton-induced processes:... Title of program: QCDINS 2.0 Catalogue Id: ADMI_v1_0 Nature of problem Instantons are a basic aspect of Quantum Chromodynamics. Being non-perturbative fluctuations of the gauge fields, they induce hard processes absent in conventional perturbation theory. Deep-inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering at HERA offers a unique possible discovery window for such processes induced by QCD-instantons through their characteristic final-state signature and a sizable rate, calculable within instanton-perturbation theory. An experimental discovery of such a novel, non-perturbative ...
