HepSim manual
HepSim is a public repository with Monte Carlo simulated events for particle-collision experiments. The HepSim repository was started at ANL during the US long-term planning study of the American Physical Society’s Division of Particles and Fields (Snowmass 2013).

Physics and detector studies
Here are several links for extending this Wiki for particular detector-performance topics:
- FCC-hh detector studies - explains how to analyses data for FCC-hh detector studies
- SID detector studies - explains how to analyses data for the SiD detector (ILC)
- CEPC detector studies - shows some results with full simulations for CEPC
- EIC detector studies - shows some results with full simulations for EIC
- HCAL studies explains how to analyse ROOT data after fast detector simulations used for FCC studies
