  1. 187. Tools for systematic event generator tuning and validation
    Dr Andy Buckley (Durham University)
    04/11/2008, 14:00
    3. Computation in Theoretical Physics
    Parallel Talk
    Event generator programs are a ubiquitous feature of modern particle physics, since the ability to produce exclusive, unweighted simulations of high-energy events is necessary for design of detectors, analysis methods and understanding of SM backgrounds. However --- particularly in the non-perturbative areas of physics simulated by shower+hadronisation event generators --- there are many...

  2. 41. The Monte Carlo generators in CMS
    Dr Paolo Bartalini (CERN)
    04/11/2008, 14:25
    3. Computation in Theoretical Physics
    Parallel Talk
    The CMS collaboration supports a wide spectrum of Monte Carlo generator packages in its official production, each of them requiring a dedicated software integration and physics validation effort. We report on the progress of the usage of these external programs with particular emphasis on the handling and tuning of the Matrix Element tools. The first integration tests in a large scale...

  3. 8. Development, validation and maintenance of Monte Carlo event generators and generator services in the LHC era
    Dr Mikhail Kirsanov (Institute for Nuclear Research (INR), Moscow)
    04/11/2008, 14:50
    3. Computation in Theoretical Physics
    Parallel Talk
    The Generator Services project collaborates with the Monte Carlo generators authors and with the LHC experiments in order to prepare validated LCG compliant code for both the theoretical and the experimental communities at the LHC. On the one side it provides the technical support as far as the installation and the maintenance of the generators packages on the supported platforms is...

  4. 61. LCG MCDB and HepML, next step to unified interfaces of Monte-Carlo Simulation
    Mr Sergey Belov (JINR, Dubna)

    3. Computation in Theoretical Physics
    Parallel Talk
    In this talk we present a way of making Monte-Carlo simulation chain fully automated.automation Last years there was a need for common place to store sophisticated MC event samples prepared by experienced theorists. Also such samples should be accessible in some standard manner to be easyly imported and used in experiments' software. The main motivation behind the LCG MCDB project is to...
