I have a relatively straightforward questions regarding Monte Carlo simulations..
Why are there same MC samples with different tune setups (eg A14, P2012 etc for let's say the top samples)? In fact I don't understand what each tune stands for...
Similarily I don't understand why there are different event generations used here and there for the same process (eg. MadGraph, Powheg, Sherpa, Herwig).
Thanks.
