GUINEA-PIG

Short description

GUINEA-PIG++ (Generator of Unwanted Interactions for Numerical Experiment Analysis - Program Interfaced to GEANT) simulates the beam-beam interaction in electron-positron linear colliders. It uses a strong-strong model of the colliding beams and includes the emission of beamstrahlung, production of incoherent and coherent pairs as well as hadronic background.
