Debian Science High Energy Physics 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 metapackage provides almost all of the programs and libraries contained in CERNLIB. Most people will likely want only a subset of these. A few extra CERNLIB programs, not of interest to many people, may be obtained via the cernlib-extras metapackage.

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 miscellaneous architecture-independent files useful for CERNLIB libraries and programs, including an example script that can generate a skeleton CERNLIB directory structure and Vim syntax highlighting macros for KUIPC CDF files and PAW "kumac" macro files.

This metapackage provides the libraries and analysis tools (e.g. PAW) likely to be wanted by most users of the CERN libraries who are not interested specifically in high energy physics. It does not provide development libraries or tools; those may be obtained by installing the cernlib-core-dev metapackage or individual lib*-dev 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 metapackage provides a few additional CERNLIB programs not included in any other CERNLIB package. Very few people are likely to be interested in them; currently they include zftp, pawserv and zserv. The latter two programs run as daemons through inetd and may raise concerns about the system's security.

Installing this package along with the 'cernlib' metapackage will supply a complete set of all CERNLIB programs and libraries, except for those not included in Debian due to licensing reasons.

This metapackage provides various Monte Carlo libraries included in CERNLIB (both shared and static). Likely only physicists will be interested in these packages. Note that the GEANT 3.21 framework is not included, but it may be obtained by also installing the geant321 Debian package.

Be aware that the libraries of Ariadne, Fritiof, Jetset, Lepto, and Pythia are not available within Debian due to licensing issues; see the README.Debian file in the montecarlo-base package for information on obtaining them.

The DIALS software is developed in a fully open-source, collaborative environment. The main development teams are based at Diamond Light Source and CCP4, in the UK, and at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA. However, in the spirit of the open source movement, we welcome collaboration from anyone who wishes to contribute to the project.

To avoid “reinventing the wheel” as much as possible, the DIALS project builds on knowledge accumulated over many decades in the field of crystallographic data processing. We benefit greatly from the altruism of experts who contribute their ideas and advice, either directly or via their detailed publications on existing algorithms and packages such as XDS [2] and MOSFLM [3]. At the heart of the DIALS framework lies a design philosophy of hardware abstraction and a generalised model of the experiment that is inspired directly by material published on the seminal workshops on position sensitive detector software [1]. Continuing in the spirit of these workshops we held our own series of meetings, with talks from invited speakers, and code camps in which specific problems are addressed by intensive effort across the collaboration. Summaries of these meetings and copies of slides given as presentations are available here.

DIALS is written using Python and C++, making heavy use of the cctbx [4] for core crystallographic calculations and much infrastructure including a complete build system. Seamless interaction between the C++ and Python components of this hybrid system is enabled by Boost.Python. Python provides a useful ground for rapid prototyping, after which core algorithms and data structures may be transferred over to C++ for speed. High level interfaces of the hybrid system remain in Python, facilitating further development and code reuse both within DIALS and by third parties.

DZedit is an interactive interface to the DZDOC (ZEBRA documentation) system developed at CERN. ZEBRA, part of the Packlib library, allows the creation of complex data structures in the FORTRAN 77 language; the DZDOC system helps to generate and maintain documentation for ZEBRA data structures.

FeynMF is LaTeXový balík pro snadné vykreslování Feynmanových diagramů v profesionální kvalitě. Jedná se o ilustrace, které zobrazují základní interakce subatomárních částic. Diagramy mohou být vytvořeny použitím programů Metafont a MetaPost. FeynMF vykreslí většinu diagramů ze struktury grafu uspokojivě bez jakékoliv potřeby manuálního zásahu. Přesto je k dispozici veškerá síla Metafontu i MetaPostu pro obskurnější případy.

Poznamenejme, že pro verzi FeynMF založenou na MetaPostu budete potřebovat balíček texlive-metapost.

GEANT is a framework for simulating the passage of subatomic particles through matter, for instance, particle detectors. For maximum flexibility, GEANT simulations are performed by linking FORTRAN code supplied by the user with the GEANT library, then running the resulting executable.

This package includes gxint, a script that makes this linking step more convenient.

KUIPC, the Kit for a User Interface Package Compiler, is a tool to simplify the writing of a program's user interface code. It takes a Command Definition File (CDF) as input, which describes the commands to be understood by the program, and outputs C or FORTRAN code that makes the appropriate function calls to set up the user interface. This code can then be compiled and linked with the rest of the program. Since the generated code uses KUIP routines, the program must also be linked against the Packlib library that contains them.

KUIPC is no longer actively developed, so aside from its use in the build process of CERNLIB, it is of mainly historical interest.

KXterm je emulátor terminálu, který kombinuje to nejlepší z (nyní nefunkčního) Apollo DM (jako je: vstup a překlad, automatická záloha překladové tabulky, vyhledávání řetězců v tabulkách, atd.) a příkazovou řádku shellu Korn podobnou emacs sloužící k úpravám zadávání příkazů. Může podporovat rozhraní příkazové řádky různých aplikací CERNLIB.

LoopTools is a package for evaluation of scalar and tensor one-loop integrals based on the FF package by G.J. van Oldenborgh. It features an easy Fortran, C++, and Mathematica interface to the scalar one-loop functions of FF and in addition provides the 2-, 3-, and 4-point tensor coefficient functions.

This package provides program file, lt, of LoopTools.

NEURON is a simulation environment for modeling individual neurons and networks of neurons. It provides tools for conveniently building, managing, and using models in a way that is numerically sound and computationally efficient. It is particularly well-suited to problems that are closely linked to experimental data, especially those that involve cells with complex anatomical and biophysical properties.

NEURON offers

• "natural syntax", which allows one to specify model properties in familiar idioms
• efficient and painless spatial and temporal discretization
• several different, user-selectable numerical integration methods
• convenient user interface (interpreters + GUI)
• user-extendable library of biophysical mechanisms

This package contains the Nypatchy family of programs, the successors to Patchy and Ypatchy. These programs are intended for working with sets of patches (for instance, for use on different machine architectures) meant to be applied to a source code tree. The patch sets and common source code are maintained as a single text-based Patchy Master file (PAM file). PAM files can contain C, FORTRAN, or assembly code.

Nypatchy and related utilities can perform actions on a PAM file such as updating it; comparing it to an older version; or outputting source code suitable for input to a compiler, having selected some subset of available patches to use. These utilities can be used interactively, or can run in batch mode from a "cradle" file of commands.

While Nypatchy is still used in places, mainly high-energy physics, these programs are no longer under active development. They are not recommended for use in new projects.

PAW je interaktivní program obsahující interaktivní prezentační a statistické a matematické nástroje. Je vytvořen tak, aby pracoval s objekty známými z fyziky jako jsou histogramy, soubory událostí (Ntuples), vektory, atd.

Program je na 64b architektuře linkován staticky proti knihovnám CERN. Je to především z důvodu stability programu, protože jeho kód se nechová v 64b prostředí zcela nejlépe.

Tento balíček obsahuje Paw++, interaktivní program používaný při analýze a grafické prezentaci. Paw++ dělá to samé jako PAW (obsažený v balíčku "paw"), ale má mnohem příjemnější grafické uživatelské rozhraní kompilované vůči Lesstif.

Program je na 64b architektuře staticky linkován proti knihovnám CERN, je to z důvodu správné funkčnosti programu, neboť jeho konstrukce není zcela kompatibilní s 64b systémem.

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 contains the server daemon for remote PAW clients. PAW is the Physics Analysis Workstation, a graphical analysis program. Included in the same binary is zserv, the server daemon for the ZFTP protocol; zserv is a macro-extensible file transfer program which supports the transfer of formatted, unformatted and ZEBRA RZ files (CMZ, HBOOK, etc.). It is similar to a standard FTP daemon, although it listens on a different port. Both servers operate through inetd.

Since these servers accept passwords in clear text and do not support SSL or other encryption methods, you should probably only install this package within a trusted LAN. It should be seen as equivalent to vanilla telnetd in terms of security (or lack thereof).

SDPB is an open-source, arbitrary-precision, parallelized semidefinite program solver, designed for the conformal bootstrap. SDPB significantly outperforms less specialized solvers and should enable many new computations.

For more information, see "A Semidefinite Program Solver for the Conformal Bootstrap" at http://arxiv.org/abs/1502.02033.

ZFTP is a macro-extensible file transfer program which supports the transfer of formatted, unformatted and ZEBRA RZ files (CMZ, HBOOK, etc.). It provides a common interface on all systems and avoids the problems of file format conversion that occur when transferring CERNLIB files between different architectures.

Except for the special treatment of CERNLIB files and use of a different port, zftp is very similar to an FTP client. Unless you are already familiar with this program, it will almost certainly be useless to you.

GEANT is a framework for simulating the passage of subatomic particles through matter, for instance, particle detectors. For maximum flexibility, GEANT simulations are performed by linking FORTRAN code supplied by the user with the GEANT library, then running the resulting executable.

This package includes some documentation in text format about GEANT 3.21.
