High Energy Physics (HEP) Computational Tools
Here you can learn how to (a) install and (b) run analysis tools used
for SUSY simulations.
Follow the instructions, they are meant to be pedagogical.
It is assumed you have access to UNIX or LINUX with standard
FORTRAN and C compliers.
Level 1 : The Source Code
A fairly comprehensive list of computational tools for HEP is located here
Note that this is very useful webpage, and one should really spend some time
poking around, to see what is out there for use. With that said, let us actually
install some specific codes, and get them up an running.
Level 2 : Installation and Running of Various Codes
I will discuss for starters :
(these will be put in a more logical order later)
- PYTHIA
- MICROMEGAS
- PROSPINO
- SUSYGEN 3.0
- PGS-4
- SLHA RGE packages
- DARKSUSY
- MADGRAPH/MADEVENT

(when I get motivated to put up the basic info)....
