PYTHIA is a program for the generation of high-energy physics events, i.e. for the description of collisions at high energies between elementary particles such as e+, e-, p and pbar in various combinations. It contains theory and models for a number of physics aspects, including hard and soft interactions, parton distributions, initial- and final-state parton showers, multiple interactions, fragmentation and decay.

The Worksheet of PYTHIA8 teachs you the basics of how to use the PYTHIA 8.1 event generator to study various physics aspects.
