Abstract
CompHEP, as a partonic event generator, and PYTHIA, as a generator of final states of detectable objects, are interfaced. Thus, integrated tool is proposed for simulation of (almost) arbitrary collision processes at the level of detectable particles. Exact (multiparticle) matrix elements, convolution with structure functions, decays, partons hadronization and (optionally) parton shower evolution are basic stages of calculations. The PEVLIB library of event generators for LHC processes is described.
