A standard file format is proposed to store process and event information, primarily output from parton-level event generators for further use by general-purpose ones. The information content is identical with what was already defined by the Les Houc... Read More about A standard format for Les Houches event files..

Comparative study of various algorithms for the merging of parton showers and matrix elements in hadronic collisions. (2007)
Journal Article
Alwall, J., Höche, S., Krauss, F., Lavesson, N., Lönnblad, L., Maltoni, F., …Worek, M. (2008). Comparative study of various algorithms for the merging of parton showers and matrix elements in hadronic collisions. The European Physical Journal C, 53(3), 473-500. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-007-0490-5

We compare different procedures for combining fixed-order tree-level matrix-element generators with parton showers. We use the case of W-production at the Tevatron and the LHC to compare different implementations of the so-called CKKW and MLM schemes...
