2In the simulation of decay of strong resonances, we use the nominal
3decay branching
4ratios from the particle data book. The stochastic mass of a individual
5resonance created is sampled at creation time from the Breit-Wigner form, under
6the mass constraints posed by center of mass energy of the scattering, and the
7mass in the lightest decay channel. The decay width from the particle data book
8are then adjusted according to equation \ref{width}, to take the stochastic mass
9value into account.

11All decay channels with nominal branching ratios greater than 1\% are simulated.
