Information

This is the website for the course 'Computer tools in particle physics' by Avelino Vicente, part of the Workshop in Computational High Energy Physics, to take place at Universidad de Antioquia.

Dates: Monday 05/12/2016 - Friday 09/12/2016
Place: 6-305, Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia
Duration: 1.5 h for the first session and 1 h for the rest

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 and lecture 4.
