HadroTOPS: A Monte Carlo event generator for hadron production in two-photon scattering in electron positron collisions

Le résumé fourni par la source

We present a Monte Carlo event generator specifically developed for the study of hadronic two-photon fusion events in two-photon scattering at electron-positron colliders. The code enables the generation of events with exact leading-order QED coupling and a flat phase space decay of the hadronic state into an arbitrary number of final state particles as selected by the user. Thus, this generator is well-suited for the use of partial wave analyses tools to study the two-photon production of higher-multiplicity final states across a wide range of energies and photon virtualities. Furthermore, the code integrates both experimental and theoretical inputs on the two-photon couplings of hadrons to simulate two-photon production processes. Motivated by the investigations of the BESIII collaboration, the final states $π^+π^-$, $π^0π^0$, $π^0η$, $K^+K^-$, $K^0_SK^0_S$, $ηη$, and $f_1(1285)\to ηπ^+π^-$ via $a_0^\pm(980)π^\mp$ and $f_0(500)η$ are currently included. The code is sufficiently flexible to easily add additional final states as well as quickly change the already included channels.
