We still have spaces left on the 2023 MCnet summer school in Durham, UK. Training in the theory and hands-on use of state-of-the-art event generators and tools: ideal for PhD students and postdocs wanting to upskill in MC! Registration closes 12 June. conference.ippp.dur.ac.uk/ev…

#LHAPDF 6.5.4 just released, with a bunch of useful improvements and fixes in the build system, Python interface, API, and MPI v3 support. Get it while it's hot!

It's been a looong time since we dropped in on the GENIE workshop to explain Professor & MC tunings, but great to see the results in this very comprehensive paper (which I missed last year!) 👍 arxiv.org/abs/2106.05884
Hadronization Model Tuning in GENIE v3

Hadronization Model Tuning in GENIE v3

The GENIE neutrino Monte Carlo describes neutrino-induced hadronization with an effective model, known as AGKY, which is interfaced with PYTHIA at high invariant mass. Only the low-mass AGKY model...

NEW! MCnet code and algorithm efficiency work that can speed up precision MC generation production setups by 10-50x. That's worth a data centre or two... arxiv.org/abs/2209.00843

New paper on arXiv! arxiv.org/abs/2209.00025 Proud of this: we extend a Les Houches 2019 project and design a new graph alg for identifying the best-expected allowed combination of BSM signal regions to use in a recast. Moar power, excellent complexity scaling, public code 👍

LHAPDF version 6.5.0 is now available from all good retailers (aka lhapdf.hepforge.org/). Various build-system fixes for new Python versions, ability to chain index files, and a major new feature: extended ErrorType syntax for param-variation combinations

Argh. As has been rapidly pointed out, a factor of 100 dropped out of the default CL percentage value in 6.5.0. We've fixed this in an emergency 6.5.1 patch: please use this instead. Uncertainty calculations now also added to our basic release-validation script... 😬
Epic Rivet @rivetyoda analysis coding from @ATLASexperiment -- almost all recent SM papers covered! Still a bunch of Higgs and Top measurements it'd be great to have (pretty please! plus BSM & HI), but this is brilliant. Great news for @ConturHEP etc. rivet.hepforge.org/rivet-cov…

A very welcome step back toward in-person collaboration: the @hepmcnet CEDAR UK Xmas Hackathon in North Berwick over the last 2 days. Thanks to the Marine Hotel for keeping us safe & cared for, and all participants for enthusiasm, good company, and sticking to the rules

Just released new versions of particle-ID decoding utils: MCUtils 1.3.5 for C++ gitlab.com/hepcedar/mcutils , and PyPDT gitlab.com/hepcedar/pypdt/ for Python. Merge requests welcome on both!

INSPIRE now links to Rivet analyses references: inspirehep.net/literature?so… The Rivet page for a particular article contains a simulator-compatible version of the collaboration's original analysis code. The Rivet code can then be run on theory simulations. [rivet.hepforge.org]
