Release 4.10 the Ariadne distribution also included version 1.0 of the LDCMC program for generating initial state parton chains according to the Linked Dipole Chain model. Here is a manual for the LDCMC program
To run Ariadne, you also need to install the Pythia/Jetset programs. In addition you may need to install the LEPTO program. You also might like to look at some sample programs to get started with running Ariadne.
PLEASE NOTE:
This program is no longer being developed and supported. Several ideas behind the Ariadne program are now implemented in other dipole-based showers, such as the ones in Pythia8.
