Description
`WHIZARD` is a multi-purpose event generator for hadron and lepton colliders.
Support for lepton beam spectra (`CIRCE1` and `CIRCE2`), polarization, initial-state radiated photons and the equivalent-photon approximation make `WHIZARD` suitable for lepton-collider physics simulations.
We have added support for `Pythia 8` on an event-per-event basis, enabling the transformation from the hard process to fully showered and hadronized events while accounting for resonances and spin correlations. We compare simulated data using the new interface to results from the standard `PYTHIA6` interface and to available $\mathrm{e}^{+}\mathrm{e}^{-}$ data.
