17:30 - 18:00
Room: Geb.1b SR4a/b Please bring your laptop! For the Pythia tutorials: * A standard Unix terminal window, as available in Linux and MacOS. This excludes Windows, unless you yourself know how to install and operate with the Windows subsystem for Linux. * Other standard tools, such as a text editor and web browser. * A C++ compiler, accepting C++11 (or later) code. * For nicer plotting preferably you should also have a Python 3 installation, including the Matplotlib library. If you have the former but not the latter, run python3 -m pip install -U matplotlib For the Sherpa tutorials: * Tutorials based on docker images. Suggest to install docker in advance: https://docs.docker.com/install * to avoid having to download the docker image all at the same time it would be a good idea to download the image in advance with: docker pull hepstore/rivet-sherpa:3.1.8 docker container run -it -v $PWD:$PWD -w $PWD hepstore/rivet-sherpa:3.1.8 /bin/bash Sherpa --version * If you'd like to work with a local Sherpa installation instead of docker, it is useful to install rivet suit from rivet-bootstrap in advance: https://gitlab.com/hepcedar/rivet/-/blob/release-3-1-x/doc/tutorials/installation.md#installation-1 For the Herwig tutorials: * Tutorials based on docker images. Suggest to install docker in advance: https://docs.docker.com/install * to avoid having to download the docker image all at the same time it would be a good idea to download the image in advance with: "docker pull herwigcollaboration/herwig-7.3:7.3.0" (where on Linux people will most likely need a "sudo" in front for this to work) If you need any additional support (via DESY computing access), contact us.
