ATHENA-PYTHIA
Interface: Pythia variables to be set in the jobOptions.txt file
under // GENERATOR SETUP
Examples
of PYTHIA production/decay codes set: click on “DCO”(earlier runs)
or ”DC1” (later runs, hence more accurate); the ATHENA-PYTHIA Interface
above lists the allowed variable combinations (see Table 3,4 in the PYTHIA
manual above); it is useful to read sections 3.5 and 3.6 in the PYTHIA manual on
the use of these variables; the PYTHIA variables for the main Standard Model
production the Higgs Boson with subsequent decay into 4 e or 4 muons are
listed here
and described in the PYTHIA manul on pages 35,36; the PYTHIA variables for the Standard
Model production the Top Quark with unbiased decays are
listed here
and described in the PYTHIA manul on page 35;

this is our dominant
