Version 1.1 of HZSteer has now been released.
There is a
Release Note, and
a new tarball on the downloads page.
HZSteer is a collection of main programs, steering and other
utilities for HZTool. It's primary purpose
is to provide the executable programs which JetWeb submits from
its backend to simulate high energy physics data.
Nevertheless, if you don't want to go to the trouble
of writing your own main programs for HZTool, and/or you need a good
set of run-time steerable options and/or XML output, HZSteer may be
for you!
- Running HZSteer: At the moment the only documentation for the
hzsteer control cards is the comments in the files themselves. However,
you should find this tutorial useful.
To receive announcements of new releases etc for hztool and hzsteer,
send an email to
majordomo@cedar.ac.uk with
subscribe hztool-announce in the body of the email.
JetWeb provides a
validation tool for Monte Carlo models using HZSteer. JetWeb and HZSteer
are both part of the CEDAR
project. This project also plans to include development of C++
replacements for HZSteer and HZTool, known as
RivetGun and
Rivet respectively.
The RunMC
package provides an alternative front-end for HZTool
(as well as other good things).
