Material and required programs

This will be a hands-on course, where all participants are encouraged to run all codes in their own laptops. The only required programas are Mathematica, a LaTeX compiler and Fortran 90 and C++ compilers. If you wish to fully participate please download the following files:

• For lecture 1: run_sarah_Scotogenic.nb and Scotogenic.tar.gz
• For lecture 2: micromegas_4.2.5.tgz
• For lecture 4: run_sarah_DarkBS.nb, DarkBS.tar.gz and plotDarkBS.txt

You should also download the latest versions of the codes we are going to use (exception: for lecture 2 we will use an old version of MicrOMEGAs, see above). You can find them in their official websites (links on your right). Finally, the slides of the course are available here: introduction, lecture 1, lecture 2, lecture 3, lecture 4 and lecture 5.
