HYDJET++ event generator
Purpose
HYDJET++ is the event generator to simulate relativistic heavy ion AA
collisions as a superposition of the soft, hydro-type state and the hard state
resulting from multi-parton fragmentation.
Method
The main program is written in the object-oriented C++ language under the
ROOT environment. The hard, multi-partonic
part of HYDJET++ is identical to the hard part of Fortran-written
HYDJET
(includes PYTHIA6.4 +
PYQUEN1.5 ) and it is included in the
generator structure as a separate directory. The soft part of HYDJET++ event
is the "thermal" hadronic state generated on the chemical and thermal
freeze-out hypersurfaces obtained from the parameterization of relativistic
hydrodynamics with preset freeze-out conditions. It includes the longitudinal,
radial and elliptic flow effects and decays of hadronic resonances. The
corresponding fast Monte-Carlo simulation procedure, C++ code
FAST MC is adapted to HYDJET++.
