An afterburner is a specialised event generator that doesn't generate the hard process itself, but only specific parts of the event after the hard process is generated. Afterburners typically generate decays and final-state radiation.
Examples of afterburners are PHOTOS[1] for final-state electromagnetic radiation, TAUOLA[2] for tau lepton decays, and EvtGen[3] for B hadron decays.
