experimental result using the four-vector final state from Monte Carlo
generators.

The current maintainers of HZTool are Jon Butterworth, Hannes Jung, Emily Nurse
and Ben Waugh. Contact them via

The original idea for HZTOOL emerged in the workshop on
Future Physics at HERA. The
original reference is
J. Bromley et al, Hamburg 1995/96, Future physics at HERA, vol. 1, 611-612.
The package was managed by Tancredi Carli for quite some time and many
people have contributed routines and general development to HZTool
since it first appeared. Tancredi's old web page can be found here.
