ExHuME 1.3: A Monte Carlo event generator for exclusive diffraction

Abstract We have written the Exclusive Hadronic Monte Carlo Event (ExHuME) generator. ExHuME is based around the perturbative QCD calculation of Khoze, Martin and Ryskin of the process p p → p + X + p , where X is a centrally produced colour singlet system. Title of program: ExHuME Catalogue Id: ADYA_v1_0 Nature of problem Central exclusive production offers the opportunity to study particle production in a uniquely clean environment for a hadron collider. This program implements the KMR model [5], which is the only fully perturbative model of exclusive production. Versions of this program held in the CPC repository in Mendeley Data ADYA_v1_0; ExHuME; 10.1016/j.cpc.2006.04.005 This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2019)
