                      the digital twins of collider-based particle physics
                      experiment. We give an introduction into the application of
                      MC generators for particle physics, discuss their different
                      components each simmulating a different aspect of physics.
                      The main part is the hard scattering process, sampled over a
                      commplicated phase space of kinematic variables, followed by
                      simulation of strong and electromagnetic radiation in parton
                      showers, and hadronization of the end products of the shower
                      into mesons and baryons. These then undergo several levels
                      of decays into those particles that are measured in the
                      detectors - mostly electrons, photons, pions and kaons. For
                      each step, the main techniques will be described and
                      explained.},
