Physics Analysis

From GlueXWiki

This page is intended to provide access to the various physics analysis topics that are being pursued with the GlueX detector. At this stage these typically consist of Monte Carlo studies which help demonstrate the feasibility of a particular analysis.

Software Analysis Tools

1. Partial Wave Analysis Tutorials
   1. pwa-ruby wiki : An installation and usage howto for the ruby-pwa code. The site also includes a fully worked out simple example.
2. The qft++ code
   1. The qft++ code was developed by Mike Williams at Carnegie Mellon University to facilitate analytic calculation of tree-level diagrams for partial wave analysis.
   2. Details can be found on the qft++ Website.
   3. A paper has also been submitted to Comp. Phys. Comm. (2008). arXiv:0805.2956
3. Software Packages
   1. The Ruby-Minuit Package

  Ruby-Minuit is a Ruby binding to CERNLIB's MINUIT package (which is written in 
  FORTRAN). It provides access to MINUIT's powerfull minimization routines from the
  infinitely flexible Ruby language.

1. 1. The qft++ package

  The qft++ package was written (in C++) to numerically calculate quantum field 
  theory expressions. The API was designed such that the code strongly resembles 
  the hand-written expressions.
