Debian Science High Energy Physics (devel) packages

CERNLIB is a suite of data analysis tools and libraries created for use in physics experiments, but also with applications to other fields such as the biological sciences.

This package includes the "cernlib" script that lists the command-line options needed for linking against CERNLIB libraries. The script has been rewritten from the upstream version to calculate dependencies recursively. Also included are a contributed set of Autoconf macros to test for CERNLIB libraries, and a set of Imake macros to allow CERNLIB modules to be built out-of-tree.

This metapackage provides the header files and static libraries needed by developers using the CERN libraries and not specifically interested in high energy physics. It also provides the CERNLIB development tools: DZedit, KUIPC, and the Nypatchy family of programs. CERNLIB analysis programs may be obtained by installing the cernlib-core metapackage.

The HepMC package is an object oriented event record written in C++ for High Energy Physics Monte Carlo Generators.

Many extensions from HEPEVT, the Fortran HEP standard, are supported: the number of entries is unlimited, spin density matrices can be stored with each vertex, flow patterns (such as color) can be stored and traced, integers representing random number generator states can be stored, and an arbitrary number of event weights can be included. Particles and vertices are kept separate in a graph structure, physically similar to a physics event.

The added information supports the modularisation of event generators. Event information is accessed by means of iterators supplied with the package.

This package provides example source files for HepMC.

LHAPDF provides a unified and easy to use interface to modern PDF sets. It is designed to work not only with individual PDF sets but also with the more recent multiple "error" sets. It can be viewed as the successor to PDFLIB, incorporating many of the older sets found in the latter, including pion and photon PDFs. In LHAPDF the computer code and input parameters/grids are separated thus allowing more easy updating and no limit to the expansion possibilities.

This package provides documentation of C++ bindings for LHAPDF.

A common method used in High Energy Physics to perform measurements is the maximum Likelihood method, exploiting discriminating variables to disentangle signal from background. The crucial point for such an analysis to be reliable is to use an exhaustive list of sources of events combined with an accurate description of all the Probability Density Functions (PDF).

To assess the validity of the fit, a convincing quality check is to explore further the data sample by examining the distributions of control variables. A control variable can be obtained for instance by removing one of the discriminating variables before performing again the maximum Likelihood fit: this removed variable is a control variable. The expected distribution of this control variable, for signal, is to be compared to the one extracted, for signal, from the data sample. In order to be able to do so, one must be able to unfold from the distribution of the whole data sample.

The SPlot method allows one to reconstruct the distributions for the control variable, independently for each of the various sources of events, without making use of any a priori knowledge on this variable. The aim is thus to use the knowledge available for the discriminating variables to infer the behaviour of the individual sources of events with respect to the control variable.

SPlot is optimal if the control variable is uncorrelated with the discriminating variables.

This package provides development files of Splot library for ROOT.

It contains universal (also called automatic or black-box) algorithms that can generate random numbers from large classes of continuous or discrete distributions, and also from practically all standard distributions.

To generate random numbers the user must supply some information about the desired distribution, especially a C-function that computes the density and - depending on the chosen methods - some additional information (like the borders of the domain, the mode, the derivative of the density ...). After a user has given this information an init-program computes all tables and constants necessary for the random variate generation. The sample program can then generate variates from the desired distribution.

• Artificial Neural Network (two different implementations)
