| | 5 | ==== HELAS ==== |
| | 6 | * %$\epsilon^{ijk} $% color qqq vertex (urgent) |
| | 7 | * spin 2 (full set of HELAS routines + Software.MadGraph ? ) |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | ==== MadGraph ==== |
| | 10 | * Decay chains -- Force propagators onshell -- %Y% JA v. 4.2.0 |
| | 11 | * Maximum number of particles |
| | 12 | * Graphs with many particles |
| | 13 | * 4-point in phase space |
| | 14 | * Allow two-digit numbers in the process number definitions (@n in the proc_card) |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | ==== MadEvent ==== |
| | 17 | * Calculate all couplings event-by-event (at least if one of fixed_couplings is F) -- %Y% JA v. 4.1.34 |
| | 18 | * Software.MadEvent for the Grid |
| | 19 | * Phase space integration/grid optimization for SCET |
| | 20 | * Get right cross section and error for each subprocess in the <init> block of the event file |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | ==== Interfaces ==== |
| | 23 | * Interfaces : QNumbers (Pythia, done by Michel by fall) -- %Y% MH & JA v. 4.1.43 & py/pgs v. 2.0.19 |
| | 24 | * Add HERWIG interface (1st oct) |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | ==== Tools ==== |
| | 27 | * Now that the !MadDecay is available it would be nice to have a script/tool to decay events by merging |
| | 28 | production / decay event files |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | ==== Web ==== |
| | 31 | * Tools: Special tool server? Possibility to give URL instead of downloading/uploading files? |
| | 32 | * Web: Allow Pythia+PGS running after complete run - preferably rewrite web run form as pearl script -- %Y% JA v. 4.1.42 |
| | 33 | * Add text field editing of cards -- %Y% MH & JA |
| | 34 | * Plotting : replace ExRootAnalysis by Software.MadAnalysis for online Plotting, add text field to edit plotting cards online instead of full web form -- %Y% RF & JA |
| | 35 | * Wiki : Interesting questions/bug reports by mail should always be answered on FAQ and BugsReport pages, the documents page |
| | 36 | and News page on clusters should be moved to Wiki |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | ==== Towards the Grid ==== |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | * Pass the scripts to bash -- %Y% JA v. 4.2.2. |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | * Allow a set up that avoids using the central disk mounted on each node. |
| | 43 | This is easy within CONDOR, but should be done independently of the batching scheme. |
| | 44 | [attachment:mrenna Here] is an e-mail by Steve Mrenna that explains what he did at Fermilab. |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | * Implement !MadGrid (TS). In this case MG/ME runs two independent phases. %BR% |
| | 47 | * make_madgrid [0/1] [nameproc] : prepares the !MadGrid code. The script runs a special |
| | 48 | version of survey and refine to get to find the cross sections corresponding to each of the integration channels. |
| | 49 | This can be run either on a single computer or on a cluster and will be available from the web too. |
| | 50 | The output of this first phase is |
| | 51 | * The information on the cross section |
| | 52 | * A self contained package, !MadGrid_nameproc.tar.gz, which is similar to madevent.tar.gz |
| | 53 | but it is a frozen code. (i.e. ALL input cards (except for grid_card.dat) cannot be edited anymore). |
| | 54 | Only very little information that can be passed to MadGrid via the grid_card.dat (the number of events |
| | 55 | to be returned, rnd seed, a file name). |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | |
| | 58 | ==== Models ==== |
| | 59 | * Clarify role of Calculators with the new FeynRules approach %Y% |
