Description
RunMC is an object oriented framework to generate and analyse
events produced in high-energy collisions using Monte Carlo
models.
-
RunMC can be used to run most recent versions of Monte Carlo models: PYTHIA, HERWIG,
ARIADNE, AROMA, LEPTO, CASCADE, PHOJET. The package
has been kept as simple as possible with minimal internal/external
dependencies, therefore, the Monte Carlo models are included together
with the main package;
-
The output of the Monte Carlo models
(the HEPEVT record) is transformed to a C/C++ output based
on the LorentzVector class from the
CLHEP
class library. Therefore, the Monte Carlo output can easily be integrated in
the experimental environment of future experiments.
- RunMC can fill 1D and 2D
histograms. One can calculate cross sections, as well as
just histograms for the numbers of events.
- RunMC can create ntuples (ROOT trees) and analyse them.
- RunMC is fully integrated into
ROOT
- RunMC has a steering card editor to change
initial parameters of Monte Carlo models.
-
Physics calculations, MC tunings, histogram definitions, etc.
can be loaded to RunMC with the same ease as
a document can be opened in the Microsoft Word
program.
In this approach, it is fairly simple to
share complicated physics calculations between the
users.
See RMC modules.
-
One can see the histograms filled in real-time update mode. One can stop
Monte Carlo runs at any time. The status bar shows the fraction of
the processed events.
-
RunMC contains many physics packages
for the event shape, jet reconstruction, heavy-flavor physics etc.
HZTOOL can also be loaded to RunMC as
an external RMC module. Fast detector simulation based on
SIMDET
can also be loaded to RunMC.
