The Monte Carlo Program KKMC, for the Lepton or Quark Pair Production at LEP/SLC Energies—Updates of electroweak calculations
Description
Since the KKMC program was published for the first time over 20 years ago, it has gained popularity and was exploited in a broad spectrum of applications. The core part of the program itself did not change much. In contrast, some of the libraries have evolved substantially. The aim of this publication is to archive four versions, alternative to the one published 20 years ago versions of the electroweak libraries (or just parameter initialization versions), which were instrumental for the precision Standard Model calculation from the end of LEP era till now and for the sake of the future applications/comparisons for the future electron–positron colliders, in particular for the FCC-ee related studies. These electroweak libraries are useful for the hadron collider applications as well, for instance for KKMC-hh or TauSpinner projects. The previous version of this program (ADMD_v1_0) may be found at https://doi.org/10.1016/S0010-4655(00)00048-5.
