Hello everyone.
Over the last couple of weeks I have spent a little spare time developing
a tool that will (hopefully) be needed by some master students here in
Oslo. It is called
Heavy Ion MOdel Manager
or simply
HIMOM
and has just reached its first quasi-stable 'release' (version 1.0).
HIMOM is a very simple GUI frontend to our BREG event generator package,
automating the writing of input-scrips for (and running)
* HIJING
* Venus
* Fritiof
* UrQMD
* neXus
i.e. the kind of tool that is probably no use at all to someone who is
familiar with the packages but infinately useful to a new student who
wants to get started on his/her thesis and can worry about details later.
What it does is simply to let you select the event generator you want, set
a number of parameters (currently mostly common things like system type,
energy, impact parameter, number of events and so on - I'll add more as I
go along), and then click a button to write the input file(s) that the
generator needs in the right format. Then you can either exit HIMOM and
run the generator by hand, or click another button that does it all for
you by parsing shell commands to your system.
HIMOM uses the ROOT GUI classes and therefore requires an up-to-date root,
but apart from that it needs nothing but BREG.
If anyone wants to test/use this package, I have a small project
webpage here (with a screenshot - check it out ;-):
www.uio.no/~bjornhs/himom
where you can get the latest code. If anyone but us decides to use this
tool I might also simply add it to BREG - please test it and let me know
if I should do so. Also, if you do test it and find any problems or bugs,
PEASE mail me so that I can fix them.
This is version 1.0, which simply means that it can now run all five
generators. I have not done extensive bugfixing, and if there are more
days like today with no access to the rcas'es I will probably add more
features soon.
That's it for today - enjoy :-)
