Description
Accurate modelling of high energy hadron interactions is essential for the precision
analysis of data from the LHC. It is therefore imperative that the predictions of
Monte Carlos used to model this physics are tested against existing and future
measurements. These measurements cover a wide variety of reactions, experimental
observables and kinematic regions. To make this process more reliable and easily
verifiable, the CEDAR collaboration has developed a set of tools for tuning and
validating models of such interactions, and for archiving the comparisons so that
data from previous experiments can be easily compared to new models. JetWeb is a
Java-based server which accesses SQL databases for data and model predictions, and
acts as a gateway to LCG resources for CPU-intensive simulation jobs. The simulation
jobs are run using the HZTool and Rivet applications, also developed within CEDAR,
and the data for comparison is taken from HepData. The server already contains an
array of useful data. The status, current application and view plans of the system
are described.
