Description
In the framework of the LCG Simulation Project, we present the Generator
Services Sub-project, launched in 2003 under the oversight of the LHC Monte
Carlo steering group (MC4LHC). The goal of the Generator Services Subproject
is to guarantee the physics generator support for the LHC experiments. Work is
divided into four work packages: Generator library; Storage, event
interfaces and particle services; Public event files and event database;
Validation and tuning. The current status and the future plans in the four
different work packages are presented. Some emphasis is put on the Monte
Carlo Generator Library (GENSER) and on the Monte Carlo Generator Database
(MCDB).
GENSER is the central code repository for Monte Carlo generators and
generator tools. it was the first CVS repository in the LCG Simulation
project and it is currently distributed in AFS. GENSER comprises release and
building tools for librarian and end users. GENSER is going to gradually
replace the obsolete CERN library in Monte Carlo generators support.
MCDB is a public database for the configuration, book-keeping and storage of
the generator level event files. The generator events often need to be
prepared and documented by Monte Carlo experts. MCDB aims at facilitating
the communication between Monte-Carlo experts and end-users. Its use can be
optionally extended to the official event production of the LHC experiments.
