PHANTOM: A Monte Carlo event generator for six parton final states at high energy colliders Original Research Article

PHANTOM is a tree level Monte Carlo for six parton final states at proton–proton, proton–antiproton and electron–positron colliders at image and image including possible interferences between the two sets of diagrams. This comprehends all purely electroweak contributions as well as all contributions with one virtual or two external gluons. It can generate unweighted events for any set of processes and it is interfaced to parton shower and hadronization packages via the latest Les Houches Accord protocol. It can be used to analyze the physics of boson–boson scattering, Higgs boson production in boson–boson fusion, image and three boson production.
