Java Physics Generator and Analysis Modules Mike Ronan LBNL (presented by Tony Johnson) Goals Disparate groups working worldwide on Linear Collider physics studies have produced complementary tools using a variety of languages and methodologies From a physics perspective it is desirable to directly compare the results from these different tools A framework for accessing different modules in a uniform way has been developed, allowing one analysis module to be used with all tools Methodology not specific to linear collider studies Methodology Use Java for building framework: Good OO language for rapid development of analysis algorithms Use Java Native Interface (JNI) to call different language modules and retrieve results back into Java objects Adapt each tool to use common java interfaces E.g. All generators create same HEPevt Use existing Java analysis tools for data analysis JAS, JAIDA, etc. US Linear Collider physics tools (Java) 3,4 vector tools, jet finders, vertex finding, etc. Provide access to Java based scripting languages jython, pnuts, dynamic java etc. Event Generators Interfaced Pandora-Pythia V2.2 Monte Carlo using PanoraPythia interface package C++ and Fortran 77 Pythia v6.2 Monte Carlo with Circe beamstrahlung simulation Fortran 77 Whizard V1.22 Monte Carlo with ISR and Circe turned on Fortran 95 Implementation Use Java native Interface (JNI) For interfacing to generators only need to implement a few methods setParameter() setProcess() init() generateEvent() getEvent() – Access to HEPEvt, common to most generators finish() Infrastructure can be reused with little change between generators Use standard tools (gmake etc.) to build .so file Other libraries (i.e. CERNLIB) can be statically linked into .so file Rarely needs to be rebuilt All interactive work can be done in Java Usage Example Details of how to set up generator varies from generator to generator All follow same basic pattern All generate same set of Java objects representing generated pa
