Users' guide

Download and compilation

Either download an Elegent release or checkout the code from Subversion:

svn co svn+ssh://svn.hepforge.org/hepforge/svn/elegent/trunk

Edit the makefile such that ROOTDIR and HepMCDIR point to your ROOT and HepMC installations.

Run make.

Generation of data-sheets

NB: you might want to skip this step as there are ready-made data-sheets available for download.

bin/ElegentDistributionSampler

  • data-sheet structure, ROOT file, 2 types of sampling

Testing the event generator

bin/ElegentTest <file name> <model path> <t_min> <t_max> <number of events>
