PROGRAM SUMMARY

Manuscript Title: DPEMC: A Monte-Carlo for Double Diffraction
Authors: M. Boonekamp, T. Kúcs
Program title: DPEMC version 2.4
Catalogue identifier: ADVF
Journal reference: Comput. Phys. Commun. 167(2005)217
Programming language: FORTRAN 77.
Computer: any computer with the FORTRAN 77 compiler under the UNIX or Linux operating systems.
Operating system: UNIX; Linux.
RAM: 25 MB
Keywords: Proton-(anti)proton collisions, diffraction, double pomeron exchange, double photon exchange.
PACS: 12.40.Nn, 13.85.-t.
Classification: 11.2, 11.6.
Nature of problem: Proton diffraction at hadron colliders can manifest itself in many forms, and a variety of models exist that attempt to describe it [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. This program implements some of the more significant ones, enabling the simulation of central particle production through color singlet exchange between interacting protons or antiprotons.
Solution method: The Monte-Carlo method is used to simulate all elementary 2 → 2 and 2 → 1 processes available in HERWIG. The color singlet exchanges implemented in DPEMC are implemented as functions reweighting the photon flux already present in HERWIG.
Restrictions: The program relying extensively on HERWIG, the limitations are the same as in [6].
Running time: Approximate times on a 800 MHz Pentium III : 5-20 minutes per 10000 unweighted events, depending on the process under consideration.
