Toolkit for High Energy Physics Event Generation - ThePEG To compile and install ThePEG follow these steps: 1: run the configure script. To override the defaults: set eg. the following environment variables CXX: (default g++) your favorite C++11 compiler. Must be standard compliant. g++ version 4.8 or later will do nicely. To overwrite the default install prefix (/usr/local) use the --prefix=/custom/install/path argument to configure. If the LHAPDF library is installed under /usr/local/lib it will be used. If it is installed elsewhere, use --with-lhapdf=/Path/to/library to specify where. If a standard Sun java compiler is available a java GUI called 'thepeg' will be installed. To avoid this use --without-javagui. 'configure --help' will list other environment variables and options which will influence the installation. 2: Do 'make check'. this will compile the main ThePEG library and two programs in the src directory. These will then be run as follows ./setupThePEG SimpleLEP.in to setup an event generator which is dumped in SimpleLEP.run ./runThePEG SimpleLEP.run to run the event generator. Some output will be written in SimpleLEP.out, SimpleLEP.log and SimpleLEP.tex. 3: Install ThePEG with 'make install'. This will put all the shared libraries in the lib/ThePEG directory under the install path. The default repository file 'ThePEGDefaults.rpo' will also be placed there. The executables 'setupThePEG' and 'runThePEG' are installed in the bin directory under the install path. In the bin directory is also installed a java-based setup program called 'thepeg' which enables you to setup and run event generators using a GUI. All header files will be installed in the 'include/ThePEG' directory under the install path, and some sample setup files and a sample makefile is installed in the 'share/ThePEG' directory together with an emacs lisp file 'ThePEG.el' with some functions for creating skeletons of new ThePEG classes. Note that ThePEG is a framework for implementing event generator models, and by itself it does not contain enough physics models to generate realistic events for any collider. Instead programs such as Pythia7 or Herwig++ should be installed to allow for proper event generation. There is currently no up-to-date manual avaliable. However, the general structure is described in "PYTHIA version 7-0.0 - a proof-of-concept version" Comput. Phys. Commun. 134 (2001) 365. (see also http://www.thep.lu.se/Pythia7/Doc/Proof/). This describes the Pythia7 program before it was broken up into the basic event generator platform - ThePEG - and the Pythia-specific parts in Pythia7. A brief description of ThePEG is also included in "Herwig++ Physics and Manual" [arXiv:0803.0883]. In addition, there is Doxygen-generated documentation of the classes in http://projects.hepforge.org/thepeg/doxygen The doxygen documentation can also be generated locally by 'make html', in which it will end up in the Doc/refman-html directory. A subsequent 'make install' will place the documentation in share/ThePEG/Doc/refman-html. Briefly, the running of ThePEG is divided into two steps: 1: The program 'setupThePEG' is used to set up an event generator and saving it to a file. Here you collect together the components needed for a specific event generation run, and parameters and switches of the components can be set to preferred values. See the file SimpleLEP.in in the src subdirectory for an example. 2: The program 'runThePEG' is used to run the generator saved to a file. =========================================================================== Toolkit for High Energy Physics Event Generation - ThePEG Copyright (C) 1999-2017 Leif Lonnblad This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 3 as published by the Free Software Foundation.
