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 $e^{\pm }p$ collisions is presented. The full electro\-weak 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.
