GENBOD generates a multi-particle weighted event according to Lorentz-invariant Fermi phase space. It is a modification of the routine GENEV (in FOWL (W505)) and uses the method of Raubold and Lynch (see Ref. 1). The total CM energy as well as the number and masses of the outgoing particles are specified by the user, but may be changed from event to event. GENBOD generates the CM vector momenta (and energies) of the outgoing particles and gives the weight which must be associated with each event. The weight may then be multiplied by any 'matrix element' or geometrical detection function calculated by the user.
