Examples:

The following examples are intended for use with cdfGen, an executable containing only generators. Most of these example tcl files given below CANNOT be directly run with cdfSim. In order to run cdfSim, copy the corresponding talk-to from the generator examples below and paste it into the default file SimulationMods/test/run_cdfSim.tcl. (Don't forget to also change the corresponding "mod enable" command.)

An up-to-date description of EvtGen with examples can be found in CDF note 5618 (old EvtGen used until release 6.1.3) and CDF note 7917 (new EvtGen).
Latest EvtGen decay file: DECAY.DEC
Latest file with standard EvtGen particle properties: pdt.table
Example tcl files can be found in package EvtGenTest (subdirectory tcl) for the new EvtGen, and in package EvtGen (subdirectory testTcl) for the old EvtGen.
Example script in mcProduction package: mc_EvtGen.tcl
