This course is given over three days. Each day there are two hours in the morning in a class room and three hours in the afternoon with computers. The intention is to teach the attendants to calculate simple particle reactions by means of computers. Extension to more complicated reactions should be rather obvious. The lectures start with the basics of phasespace and phasespace integration by Monte Carlo techniques. At this stage the matrix elements are provided. In the later stages the students learn a bit about FORM and have to calculate their own matrix elements. Of course there are example programs and the work expected of the students is to modify these for the reactions they are to calculate.
All lecture notes are given in the form of .pdf files. The programs are in the .tar.gz files. The notes contain explanations about what to do with the files.
| manual.pdf | A super short Linux manual for installing the files. |
| part1.pdf | The introduction. It explains what you need to do to get started. |
| part2.pdf | Overal factors and some simple phase space. |
| part3.pdf | Monte Carlo integration. |
| part4.pdf | Some crosssections. |
| sform.pdf | A very short introduction to FORM. |
| kinc.tar.gz | Kinematics routines and examples. When unpacking it creates the directory kinc, if it doesn't exist already. |
| kinc1.tar.gz | First part of the library. When unpacking it creates the directory kinc1, if it doesn't exist already. |
| formprogs.tar.gz | A number of FORM programs that will be used. It creates the directory formprogs, if it doesn't exist already. |
