AROMA 2.2 — A Monte Carlo generator for heavy flavour events in ep collisions

Abstract A program to simulate the production of heavy quarks through the boson-gluon fusion process in e^± p collisions is presented. The full electroweak structure of the electron-gluon interaction is taken into account as well as the masses of the produced heavy quarks. Higher order QCD radiation is treated using initial and final state parton showers, and hadronization is performed using the Lund string model. Physics and programming aspects are described in this manual. Title of program: AROMA version 2.2 Catalogue Id: ADEY_v1_0 Nature of problem Heavy quarks can be produced in high energy electron-proton collisions through the boson-gluon fusion process.
