DPEMC: A Monte Carlo for double diffraction Original Research Article

We extend the POMWIG Monte Carlo generator developed by B. Cox and J. Forshaw, to include new models of central production through inclusive and exclusive double Pomeron exchange in proton–proton collisions. Double photon exchange processes are described as well, both in proton–proton and heavy-ion collisions. In all contexts, various models have been implemented, allowing for comparisons and uncertainty evaluation and enabling detailed experimental simulations.
