The Lund Monte Carlo for high-psub(T) physics
Description
We present a Monte Carlo program for high-psub(T) physics and prompt photon production, based on the Lund Monte Carlo for Jet Fragmentation. The theoretical background is treated in detail, including a complete derivation of the cross-sections for the different final state configurations that result from the Lund model which forms the framework of the program. A prominent part of the paper is dedicated to a manual on how to use the FORTRAN 77 program. PYTHIA, successor to and synthesis of earlier high-psub(T) programs. (orig./HSI)
