Hi all, I filed a dozen of ITP bugs for high energy physics related packages [1-12], here is a summary their descriptions, licenses and URL:
* clhep -- Class Library for High Energy Physics License: GPL-3, LGPL-3 URL: http://proj-clhep.web.cern.ch/proj-clhep/ The CLHEP package is a set of High Energy Physics specific foundation and utility classes such as random generators, physics vectors, geometry and linear algebra. * root-system -- CERN's ROOT Data Analysis Framework License: LGPL-2.1, GPL-3 URL: http://root.cern.ch ROOT is an object-oriented program and library developed by CERN. It was originally designed for particle physics data analysis and contains several features specific to this field, but it is also used in other applications such as astronomy and data mining. * hepmc -- C++ Event Record for Monte Carlo Generators License: GPL-2 URL: https://savannah.cern.ch/projects/hepmc/ The HepMC package is an object oriented event record written in C++ for High Energy Physics Monte Carlo Generators. Many extensions from HEPEVT, the Fortran HEP standard, are supported: the number of entries is unlimited, spin density matrices can be stored with each vertex, flow patterns (such as color) can be stored and traced, integers representing random number generator states can be stored, and an arbitrary number of event weights can be included. Particles and vertices are kept separate in a graph structure, physically similar to a physics event. The added information supports the modularisation of event generators. Event information is accessed by means of iterators supplied with the package. * lhapdf -- Les Houches Accord Parton Density Function interface License: GPL-2 URL: http://projects.hepforge.org/lhapdf/ LHAPDF provides a unified and easy to use interface to modern PDF sets. It is designed to work not only with individual PDF sets but also with the more recent multiple "error" sets. It can be viewed as the successor to PDFLIB, incorporating many of the older sets found in the latter, including pion and photon PDFs. In LHAPDF the computer code and input parameters/grids are separated thus allowing more easy updating and no limit to the expansion possibilities. * fastjet2 -- Fast C++ code for the kt and other jet algorithms License: GPL-2 (some plugins of this package are not DFSG conformed, I would purge them first. URL: http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~salam/fastjet/ The FastJet package provides a fast implementation of several longitudinally invariant sequential recombination jet algorithms, in particular the longitudinally invariant kt jet algorithm, the inclusive longitudinally invariant version of the Cambridge/Aachen jet-algorithm, and the inclusive anti-kt algorithm. * siscone -- Seedless Infrared Safe Cone Jet Finder License: GPL-2 URL: http://projects.hepforge.org/siscone/ SISCone implements a seedless infrared (IR) safe cone jet algorithm, it takes N^2*ln(N) time to find jets among N particles, comparing to N*2^N time of other algorithms. * pythia8 -- Events Generator of High Energy Physics License: GPL-2 URL: http://home.thep.lu.se/~torbjorn/Pythia.html PYTHIA is a program for the generation of high-energy physics events, i.e. for the description of collisions at high energies between elementary particles such as e+, e-, p and pbar in various combinations. It contains theory and models for a number of physics aspects, including hard and soft interactions, parton distributions, initial- and final-state parton showers, multiple interactions, fragmentation and decay. * rivet -- Robust Independent Validation of Experiment and Theory License: GPL-2 URL: http://projects.hepforge.org/rivet/ Rivet is a toolkit for validation of Monte Carlo event generators. Using a computationally efficient model for observable computations, Rivet provides a set of experimental analyses useful for generator sanity checks, as well as a convenient infrastructure for adding your own analysis. * yaml-cpp -- YAML parser and emitter for C++ License: X URL: http://code.google.com/p/yaml-cpp/ yaml-cpp is a YAML parser and emitter in C++ matching the YAML 1.2 specification. (yaml-cpp is required by rivet.) * thepeg -- Toolkit for High Energy Physics Event Generation License: GPL-2 URL: http://projects.hepforge.org/thepeg/ ThePEG is a general toolkit for implementing physics models of event generation in high energy particle collisions. It defines a general structure of event generation in terms of abstract base classes for e.g. hard partonic matrix elements, parton showers and the decay of unstable particles. Different models are then implemented by creating classes which inherits from these base classes and implements sets of pre-defined virtual functions. * looptools -- Integral Evaluator of One-loop Feynman Diagram License: LGPL-3 URL: http://www.feynarts.de/looptools/ LoopTools is a package for evaluation of scalar and tensor one-loop integrals based on the FF package by G.J. van Oldenborgh. It features an easy Fortran, C++, and Mathematica interface to the scalar one-loop functions of FF and in addition provides the 2-, 3-, and 4-point tensor coefficient functions. * herwig++ -- Multi-purpose event generator for high energy physics License: GPL-2 URL: http://projects.hepforge.org/herwig/ Herwig++ is a completely new event generator, written in C++. It is built on the experience gained with the well-known event generator HERWIG. The aim is to provide a multi purpose event generator with similar or improved capabilities (like angular ordered parton evolution and the cluster hadronization model). Comments and suggestions are welcome.
