We have scheduled a series of tutorials on commonly used
Monte Carlo programs. These are informal sessions are designed to
introduce participants to these tools for those who have little or no
prior experience. The format of each tutorial will vary from speaker to speaker as appropriate for each tool. More information will be coming soon on the tutorials! Websites for the tools are here: Pythia CompHEP CalcHEP SMadGraph These sessions are inspired by Konstantin Matchev's "Practium on Simulations" given at IAS last summer. There you can find the homework he assigned and useful information on how to install Pythia and CompHEP onto your laptop. |

Tao has provided some useful information for those who
wish to run Pythia, here it is! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear All, For those who wish to run PYTHIA but haven't already done it lately, it would be more fruitful for you to go through the following preparation before the tutorial in Friday morning. 1. Go to the PYTHIA webpage: http://www.thep.lu.se/~torbjorn/Pythia.html 2. Download the PYTHIA source file by clicking * The current version of the PYTHIA code (6.403) [you get a Fortran file called: pythia6403.f] 3. Extract the driver code ttbar_sample.f from my attachment into the same directory. 4. Generate an executable file by typing g77 -w -o run ttbar_sample.f pythia6403.f (and return, of course! It takes a few minutes to complete.) [The above compiling command "g77" works for my MAC OS X system. If you use Linux, do: f77 -w -o run ttbar_sample.f pythia6403.f Otherwise, you need to change the compiling command according to your Fortran compiler, such as f90, f95, f2c, fc, gnu etc. ] You should now get an executable file called "run". 5. Run the executable file by typing: run (and return) [In some machine setting, you may need to type ./run ] If you succeed in every step, you should be pleased to see something on your screen. (Wait for a minute for the final result). The last step is to try to make sense out of it... At this stage, you are one step away from getting an (un)official PY'er-certificate. Good luck and send me your feedback if any. Cheers, Tao Han ------------------------------------------------------------------ Also, Tao provided a test program you can download from here: ttbar_sample.f. |

Instructions from Shufang about installation, compilation,
and runningof CalcHEP: ==================================================================== INSTALL CALCHEP: 1. Download latest version of CalcHEP from CalcHEP website: http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~pukhov/calchep.html In 'Code and installation' session, look for 'CalcHEP code for UNIX ( version 2.4.3, date August 04, 2006)' 2. Unpack this file by tar -xzf calchep_2.4.3.tgz As a result a directory 'calchep_2.4.3' should be created. 3. In 'calchep_2.4.3' directory FOR linux user: run gmake or make FOR MAC USERS: open getFlags file, find 'Darwin' in the next few lines, change 'gfortran' to whatever fortran compiler in your machine, for example, g77 or g95. Save the file and close it. Then run make DON'T run 'make' before you make the changes. If you already do it before you read this message, then the easiest fix is to remove calchep_2.4.3 directory and go back to step 2. 4. In 'calchep_2.4.3' directory, set up a user working directory by ./mkUsrDir dir_name dir_name would be the directory where you want to do your work. I recommend it put it elsewhere, not under 'calchep_2.4.3' directory. for example, ./mkUsrDir ~/WORK creates 'work' directory under your root directory. 5. To start a CalcHEP session, goto the working directory you just created, and you issue a command ./calchep it will bring up a calchep window. HAVE FUN! =================================== INSTALL MODEL (I use MSSM as an example) The CalcHEP that you just installed only have SM build in. To add other models, like MSSM, etc., you need to download models from from CalcHEP website: http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~pukhov/calchep.html under 'models' 1. download the MSSM.tgz file. 2. in 'calchep_2.4.3, Unpack this file by tar -xzf MSSM.tgz As a result a directory MSSM/ will appear. 3. run gmake or make Then you can import the model to CalcHEP when you start a CalcHEP session. I will discuss this step during the tutorial, and I will discuss how to build a new physics model. Email (shufang@physics.arizona.edu) or talk to me if you have any problem installing it. |

Instructions from Tilman about installation, compilation,
and running of SMadGraph: ==================================================================== Why don't we leave it with two links to files. Dave's and my web page is identical: SMadGraph and here is the MadEvent site MadEvent For my talk it will not be necessary for people to have stuff installed. I'd rather have them follow me and ask questions there. |
