KORALW
Written by M.
Skrzypek in collaboration with
S. Jadach and
W. Placzek.
KORALW is a Monte Carlo event generator for the W pair production
and decay processes
e+ e-
W+ W-
and W±
X.
Main features of KORALW version 1.03
- Multiple soft ISR photons with FINITE transverse momenta
generated according to YFS Monte Carlo technique
- Massive kinematics for all particles
- Massless Born matrix element
- New: Anomalous WWV
couplings in matrix el.,
convention of K. Hagiwara, R.D. Peccei, D. Zeppenfeld and K. Hikasa,
Nucl. Phys. B282 (1987) 253
- New: Coulomb effect included
- New: Interface to any external matrix element
- Matrix element with QED second order LL initial state radiation
- All final state configurations according to branching ratios
- Interface to LUND and PDG for all final states i.e. to
JETSET hadronization
- TAUOLA and PHOTOS installed
- semianalytical routine KORWAN included in the package
Source Code
The KORALW version 1.03 source code is contained in a g-zipped tar file
koralw-1.03-export.tar.gz (358 KB).
The manifest gives a list of the tar
file contents, and the README file
contains instructions. See also the instructions in HTML format.
European users may wish to request KORALW from the
KORALW repository
at the Institute of Nuclear Physics,
Krakow, Poland.
You may request the g-zipped tar file
koralw-1.03-export.tar.gz from Krakow.
Version 1.02 is still available in the 291 Kbyte g-zipped tar file
koralw-1.02-export.tar.gz.
