The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

PYTHIA 8 represents a complete rewrite in C++. The current release is the first main one after this transition, and does not yet in every respect replace the old code. It does contain some new physics aspects, on the other hand, that should make it an attractive option especially for LHC physics studies.

C2weakest assumption

That the new physics aspects and C++ implementation will prove sufficiently stable, validated against data, and adopted by the community despite not yet fully replacing the Fortran version in every respect.

C3one line summary

PYTHIA 8.1 is a C++ event generator for high-energy collisions featuring updated parton-shower, multiple-interaction, and fragmentation models suited to LHC physics.
