The Rivet software (Robust Independent Validation of Experiment and Theory) is a system for validation of Monte Carlo (MC) event generators and comparing theoretical predictions to each other and to experimental data. It provides a set of experimental analyses useful for MC generator development, validation, and tuning, as well as infrastructure for users to write their own analyses.
Rivet is a widespread way by which analysis code from the LHC and other high-energy collider experiments is preserved for comparison to and development of theory models. It is used by phenomenologists, MC generator developers, and experimentalists on the LHC and other facilities.
