Monte Carlo event generators (GPMC) are central to High Energy Physics (HEP) and are an indispensable part of HEP experiments. Almost all measurements and discoveries in the modern era, including the discovery of the Higgs boson, have relied on GPMC. An overview of the physics embodied in the thee main GPMC: Herwig [1, 2], PYTHIA [3, 4] and Sherpa [5] was given in the review [6] and more recently, for example, in [7]. Here, we only very briefly summarize it, to set the scene for our studies. Event generators start from a perturbative description of a hard
