lha-0.1.1: Data structures for the Les Houches Accord

Safe HaskellSafe-Infered

Data.LHA

Description

This module provides data structures for HEP events, as outlined by the Les Houches Accord (hep-ph/0109068v1). It attempts to be as close as possible to a direct haskell translation of the accord. Other relevant documents include:

  • L. Garren, I. G. Knowles, T. Sjostrand and T. Trippe, Eur. Phys. J. C 15, 205 (2000).
  • H. Plothow-Besch, Comput. Phys. Commun. 75, 396 (1993); CERN Program Library Long Writeup W5051 (2000); refer to http://consult.cern.ch/writeup/pdflib/.
