GaGaRes: A Monte Carlo generator for resonance production in two-photon physics

Abstract
In this paper a Monte Carlo generator, GaGaRes, is presented which can be used to describe two-photon resonance production in e^+ e^-collisions. The program can generate the five lowest-lying C = +1 meson states of any qq̄ combination together with the outgoing electron and positron. The dependence on the photon virtualities Q_1^2and Q_2^2is fully taken into account. The program also generates the density matrices of the resonance, which form an essential tool in the description of ...

Nature of problem
With the advent of LEP2 higher energies for two-photon reactions became available with high luminosities. This makes it possible to search experimentally for heavier resonances created in two-photon collisions and also to determine the dependence of the two-photon cross sections on the virtualities Q1^2 and Q2^2. Moreover, the decay distributions of the resonances can be studied. These experimental possibilities make it desirable to have a program, which can simulate events as expected from our ...
