RAPGAP
Hadron level Monte Carlo generator for ep and selected processes in pp scattering

The Monte Carlo program RAPGAP generates a full hadron event record according to the HEP common standards. In ep it can describe all inclusive and diffractive processes, in pp it is available for single-diffractive and a few inclusive processes for heavy quark and jet production.
