HADES

HADES is a small libary that can be used to include linear collider background in PYTHIA. It can be downloaded here. The file needs to be gunzipped and untarred. The library can be produced by make after setting the correct paths in the makefile. The resulting hades.o can be linked to PYTHIA programs (PYTHIA 6.xxx). with make hades_import and make hades_view two help programs can be created. The first can transform a formatted background file into a binary one. The second can be used to inspect a background file, see below.

Comments and question can be sent to Daniel Schulte .

Available background files

The following files can be used as input files for HADES. They usually come in two versions. The first is a binary version that can be used directly with linux. The second is a formatted version. It needs to be gunzipped. To transform the file into a binary one, one can use the hades_import program. After calling the program it will ask for the name of the source file (the formatted one) and for the target file (the newly created binary file).

With the program hades_view one can inspect a background file. After calling the program it will ask for the file name. The number of events found will be printed and they can be accessed by typing an event number. Typing 0 will exit the program.
