// This program runs four instances of Pythia simultaneously,
// one for signal events, one for pileup background ones, and two
// For beam-gas background ones. Note that Pythia does not do nuclear
// effects, so beam-gas is represented by "fixed-target" pp collisions.
// The = and += overloaded operators are used to join several
// event records into one, but should be used with caution.

// Note that each instance of Pythia is independent of any other,
// but with two important points to remember.
// 1) By default all generate the same random number sequence,
//    which has to be corrected if they are to generate the same
//    physics, like the two beam-gas ones below.
// 2) Interfaces to external Fortran programs are "by definition" static.
//    Thus it is not a good idea to use LHAPDF to set different PDF's
//    in different instances.
