Description

We simulate the hadroproduction of a t tbar pair in association with one or two isolated photons at the LHC using the PowHel program. The generated events are stored according to the Les-Houches event format and constitute an almost inclusive event sample (regarding the photons), so that usual experimental photon isolation can be employed. We interface those events to the PYTHIA shower Monte Carlo program, allowing for decays of massive particles, showering and hadronization, and present predictions for differential distributions at the hadron level.
