Pythia 8
Pythia can be used to generate high-energy-physics ‘events’, i.e. sets of outgoing particles produced in the interactions between two incoming particles. The objective is to provide as accurate as possible a representation of event properties in a wide range of reactions, within and beyond the Standard Model, with emphasis on those where strong interactions play a role, directly or indirectly, and therefore multihadronic final states are produced. The physics is then not understood well enough to give an exact description; instead the program has to be based on a combination of analytical results and various QCD-based models. Extensive information is provided on all program elements: subroutines and functions, switches and parameters, and particle and process data. This should allow the user to tailor the generation task to the topics of interest.

(revision 5)
- Change postinstall scripts to run ldconfig directly
- Update to version 8.210:
+ Bug fix in CKKW-L merging for LHE files, such that the
factorization and renormalization scales are set by the SCALUP
value if the muf2 and mur2 LHEF3 attributes have not been set,
and the user has not set any explicit values; this change
restores the PYTHIA 8.1 behaviour.
+ Various technical improvements in the machinery for hard
diffraction.
+ Correct quark flavour selection when a string spanned directly
between two junctions is split up.
+ Check that SK-I and SK-II colour reconnection machineries only
are called for event topologies they are set up to handle.
+ Bug fixes in partial widths of the W' boson. Results are
correct when the W' is a simply rescaled copy of the W, but
not for more general couplings. Thanks to Mihail Chizhov.
+ Minor fix in default location of PDF data files in the
constructors. No practical consequence since correct
non-default values are used.
+ Tiny fix in the configure script, so that CXX options
containing an equal sign are parsed correctly.
- Changes from version 8.202 through 8.209:
+ See /usr/share/doc/packages/pythia/htmldoc/UpdateHistory.html.
- Add pythia-makefile-destdir-support.patch to enable DESTDIR
support in the Makefile; makes configure stage buildroot-free
and prevents an ugly BUILDROOT trace in the shlib.
- Enable additional bindings now that all necessary deps are in
Factory; new subpackage: libpythia8lhapdf6.
- Add BuildRequires: chrpath; required to cleanup rpath in
