Two different versions of PYTHIA and two of HERWIG are analyzed, namely PYTHIA 6.418 and HERWIG 6.5.10 in Fortran and PYTHIA 8.165 and HERWIG 2.6.1 in C++. For all the studied channels, the intrinsic differences between them are shown to be significative and may play an mportant role in misunderstanding dark matter signals.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/JHEP09(2013)077http://arxiv.org/abs/1305.2124http://link.springer.comopen access53Galactic-CenterModelsHalosContractionSimulationTelescopeDirectionBaryonsFísica (Física)22 Física
