Tables of Lund Particle Codes

NOTE: Please view this documentation with Netscape version 1.1 or higher. It relies on the table-making capabilities of HTML 3.0. If you do not see a nice border around the title 'HMC Operation and Event Generation' above, please use this link instead, where the tables have been converted to ASCII.

This series of tables is just a faster alternative to the full Lund particle code description, and includes the GEANT particle codes (when they exist) for convenience. There are also GEANT particle codes for nuclei that do not appear here.

Note that in Lund, negative codes indicate the antiparticles of the objects listed here. This is not true in GEANT; the antiparticle codes have been included below in parentheses when they are different from the particle codes (e.g. GEANT does not distinguish between neutrinos and antineutrinos). Thus in the first table, the electron has Lund code 11 and GEANT code 3 ... the positron has Lund code -11 and GEANT code 2.
