Tools 2017: Tools for the SM and the New Physics

10 Sept 2017, 08:45 → 13 Sept 2017, 19:55 Europe/Zurich

The aim of the workshop is to review the main computational tools used for collider physics (both in the context of the Standard Model and new physics) as well as for Dark Matter searches.

fastjet-WW-tutorial.pdf

The material for the tutorial can be downloaded here:

   http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~soyez/data/2017-Corfu-WW-tutorial.tar.gz

Once you have unpacked it, there are instructions either in the README file or in the fastjet-WW-tutorial.pdf file. Prior to the hand-on session you might want to install fastjet (easier to do it in the same directory) following the instructions from

  http://fastjet.fr/quickstart.html

The tutorial requires events file which I will circulate on a USB stick. If the internet connection is good enough, you can also get them by executing the "get-event-files.sh" script in the event-files directory

 

19:00 Hands on collider tools - Rivet (1h)

Speaker: Andy Buckley (Glasgow Uni.)

buckley-rivettutorial.pdf

Rivet 2.5.4 is here: https://rivet.hepforge.org/  The easiest thing to
do is probably to run our bootstrap script, following the instructions
at https://rivet.hepforge.org/trac/wiki/GettingStarted

Slides

Here is the link for downloading GAMBIT: 
http://www.hepforge.org/archive/gambit/gambit-1.0.1.tar.gz

In the README.md file there is a list of other packages that are needed 
to install and run GAMBIT. I've pasted the list below for convenience. 
It's mostly standard packages, but I suspect not everyone will have will 
have packages like Eigen, yaml and hdf5 installed.

-------------------

GAMBIT is built using the CMake system. The following libraries and 
packages must be installed prior to configuration:

COMPULSORY:

  - gcc/gfortran 4.7.1 or greater, or icc/ifort 12.1.0 or greater
  - Python 2.7 or greater (Python 3 is not supported)
  - Python modules: yaml, os, re, datetime, sys, getopt, shutil and 
itertools.
  - Boost 1.41 or greater
  - GNU Scientific Library (GSL) 1.10 or greater
  - Eigen 3.1.0 or greater
  - LAPACK
  - PKG Config

OPTIONAL:

  - the h5py python module (for use of the hdf5 printer)
  - MPI (required for parallel sampling)
  - axel (speeds up downloads of backends and scanners)
  - graphviz (required for model hierarchy and dependency tree plots)
  - HDF5 (for use of the hdf5 printer)
  - ROOT (required for the Delphes detector simulation, or the GreAT 
scanner from ScannerBit)

11:30 Whizard (25'+5')

Speaker: Jürgen Reuter (DESY Hamburg, Germany)

JRR_2017_Tools.pdf

This is a Docker image. It can be downloaded from here: http://whizard.hepforge.org/tutorials/tutorial-2017/
(either gzipped oder bzip2ed)

In that folder there is also an explanation how to install and use docker. You basically load the docker image to be downloaded, and then
you have something like a virtual machine.

12:00 PySecDec (25' + 5')

Speaker: Stephan Jahn (MPI)

Stephan_Jahn_Tools2017.pdf

All important information about (py)SecDec is linked from our web page:

http://secdec.hepforge.org/


Installation instructions are available in the manual:

http://secdec.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html


An introduction to the basic usage is provided in the manual:

http://secdec.readthedocs.io/en/stable/gettingstarted.html

The distribution tarballs come with a variety of examples. All examples

are listed on the bottom of the "Getting Started" section in the manual.

Additional information and a more extensive discussion of the examples

can also be found in our paper [1703.09692] (submitted to CPC).
