CASCADE
Hadron level Monte Carlo generator for ep and pp scattering
applying kt-factorisation and unintegrated PDFs
The Monte Carlo program CASCADE generates a full hadron event record
according to the HEP common standards.
CASCADE is intended for small x processes.
Until now, it uses only gluon chains in the initial state cascade.
Different sets of un-integrated gluon densities are available, which all
describe HERA F2 data equally well.

Version 2.0.1 of CASCADE has now been released.
This release includes autotools installation features, as well as
optionally linking directly to HZTool.
The physics behind CASCADE is described
