  1. 209. CompHEP status report (version 4.5)
    Dr Alexander Sherstnev (University of Oxford)
    05/11/2008, 09:00
    3. Computation in Theoretical Physics
    Plenary
    We present a new version of the CompHEP program package, version 4.5. We describe shortly new techniques and options implemented: interfaces to ROOT and HERWIG, generation of the XML-based header in event files (HepML), full implementation of Les Houches agreements (LHA I, SUSY LHA, LHA PDF, Les Houches events), realisation of the improved von Neumann procedure for the event generation, etc....

  2. 229. Multivariate Methods in Particle Physics: Today and Tomorrow
    Dr Harrison Prosper (Department of Physics, Florida State University)
    05/11/2008, 09:40
    3. Computation in Theoretical Physics
    Plenary
    ultivariate methods are used routinely in particle physics research to classify objects or to discriminate signal from background. They have also been used successfully to approximate multivariate functions. Moreover, as is evident from this conference, excellent easy-to-use implementations of these methods exist, making it possible for everyone to deploy these sophisticated methods. From...

  3. 181. LHC phenomenology at next-to-leading order QCD: theoretical progress and new results
    Dr Thomas Binoth (University of Edinburgh)
    05/11/2008, 10:40
    3. Computation in Theoretical Physics
    Plenary
    In this talk I will motivate that a succesful descripton of LHC physics needs the inclusion of higher order corrections for all kinds of signal and background processes. In the case of multi-particle production the combinatorial complexity of standard approaches triggered many new developments which allow for the efficient evaluation of one-loop amplitudes for LHC phenomenology. I will...

  4. 13. Code quality from the programmer's perspective
    Paolo Tonella (FBK-IRST)
    05/11/2008, 11:20
    2. Data Analysis
    Plenary
    Code quality has traditionally been decomposed into internal and external quality. In this talk, I will discuss the differences between these two views and I will consider the contexts in which either of the two becomes the main quality goal. I will argue that for physics software the programmer's perspective, focused on the internal quality, is the most important one. Then, I will revise...
