Abstract

We present an algorithm for simulating reverse Monte Carlo decays given an existing forward Monte Carlo decay engine. This algorithm is implemented in the Alouette library, a TAUOLA thin wrapper for simulating decays of tau-leptons. We provide a detailed description of Alouette, as well as validation results.
