Description

The Rivet toolkit is introduced as an useful package for the analysis of simulated events in particle physics and its direct comparison with experimental data. A special emphasis is made on the Monte Carlo algorithms for the generation of events and their extension to NLO in perturbation theory. A simulation for the production of $b$-flavoured hadrons is made for proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 7TeV$ using an implementation of the MC@NLO scheme for the matching of parton showers with NLO matrix element calculations.
