Monte Carlo Event Generator for the ABC theory

Installation

pip install pymcabc

Physics

The physics of ABC model (theory) is described in Grifiths.

Simple script to start using the package:

• 1. Define the process, for example:

pymcabc.DefineProcess(`A A > B B',mA=4,mB=10,mC=1,Ecm=30)

2. Calculate the total cross section of the process:

pymcabc.CrossSection().calc_xsection()

3. Generate and Save events using a single command. Select whether to allow final state particle decays or not. Also select whether to apply detector effects on particle. pymcabc.SaveEvent(10000,boolDecay=True,boolDetector=True).to_root('name.root')

4. Analyze the root file. Basic analysis is possible by calling the PlotData module

PlotData.file('name.root')
