The POWHEG BOX


Project

The POWHEG BOX is a general computer framework for implementing NLO calculations in shower Monte Carlo programs according to the POWHEG method. It is also a library, where previously included processes are made available to the users. It can be interfaced with all modern shower Monte Carlo programs that support the Les Houches Interface for User Generated Processes.

Download back to Index


The POWHEG BOX is made available only via SVN, with the command:

$ svn checkout [--revision n] --username anonymous --password anonymous svn://powhegbox.mib.infn.it/trunk/POWHEG-BOX

The optional argument --revision n is used to specify which svn version to get. Omitting the argument, one gets the latest version.

Since revision 2801, the POWHEG BOX files, without user processes, have been mirrored in svn://powhegbox.mib.infn.it/trunk/POWHEG-BOX-NoUserProcesses. Further fixes to this version will only be made in this directory. Thus, users should first download

$ svn checkout svn://powhegbox.mib.infn.it/trunk/POWHEG-BOX-NoUserProcesses POWHEG-BOX

then do

$ cd POWHEG-BOX
$ svn checkout svn://powhegbox.mib.infn.it/trunk/POWHEG-BOX/"process-of-interest"

This is to avoid having to download all user processes when we are only interested into one.



VERSION 2 back to Index


Processes may still be developed in V2, although RES is now recommended. Older processes will be ported on V2 upon request to the respective authors.
To get the V2 version do
$ svn checkout [--revision n] --username anonymous --password anonymous svn://powhegbox.mib.infn.it/trunk/POWHEG-BOX-V2

User processes should be downloaded independently. This is to avoid long downloads from the svn server. They are in the subdirectories in svn://powhegbox.mib.infn.it/trunk/User-Processes-V2.
Do:
$ svn list [--revision n] --username anonymous --password anonymous svn://powhegbox.mib.infn.it/trunk/User-Processes-V2
to get a list of available processes.

Do:
$ svn co [--revision n] --username anonymous --password anonymous svn://powhegbox.mib.infn.it/trunk/User-Processes-V2/XXX
to download process XXX. In order to compile XXX you should put it in the POWHEG-BOX-V2 directory.







VERSION RES (first release: svn revision 3239) back to Index



The POWHEG BOX RES (Tomáš Ježo and Paolo Nason, JHEP 1512 (2015) 065, arXiv:1509.09071 [paper]) can deal with radiation in decaying resonaces. To get the RES version do
$ svn checkout [--revision n] --username anonymous --password anonymous svn://powhegbox.mib.infn.it/trunk/POWHEG-BOX-RES

User processes should be downloaded independently. This is to avoid long downloads from the svn server. They are in the subdirectories in svn://powhegbox.mib.infn.it/trunk/User-Processes-RES.
Do:
$ svn list [--revision n] --username anonymous --password anonymous svn://powhegbox.mib.infn.it/trunk/User-Processes-RES
to get a list of available processes.

Do:
$ svn co [--revision n] --username anonymous --password anonymous svn://powhegbox.mib.infn.it/trunk/User-Processes-RES/XXX
to download process XXX. In order to compile XXX you should put it in the POWHEG-BOX-RES directory.

You need a recent version of the gfortran compiler to compile it.
At CERN, do:
source /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/5.2/x86_64-slc6-gcc52-opt/setup.sh

$ make check
