SuperCHIC: Monte Carlo Event Generator for Central Exclusive Production

The enclosed standalone Fortran code provides public access to the Monte Carlo generator described in:

L.A. Harland-Lang, V.A. Khoze, M.G. Ryskin, W.J. Stirling
"Central exclusive chi_c meson production at the Tevatron revisited"
arXiv:0909.4748 [hep-ph].

Please reference this paper if you use the programme for a publication.

The programme currently generates weighted events for central exclusive γγ production, χc0, χc1 and χc2 production via the decay chain:

χc → J/ψ γ → μ+ μ- γ

and χb0, χb1 and χb2 production via the equivalent decay chain:

χb → ϒ γ → μ+ μ- γ

χc and χb events can be generated at cms energies of s = 1.96 TeV and s = 14 TeV. γγ events can currently be generated at s= 1.96 TeV only. Code for other cms energies can be provided on request.
