Abstract
We describe an event generator that reproduces the photon-nucleon inte raction from the pion threshold up to 4 GeV accounting to a large exte nt for the total photoabsorption cross section. Many reaction channels on the nucleon have been considered: namely single pion production, e ta production, multipion production and some hyperon production channe ls. Compatibility with the GEANT and PAW software packages has been as sured throughout. The extension to reactions on two and three nucleon systems is discussed.
