HepSim manual

HepSim is a public repository with Monte Carlo simulated events for high-energy physics (HEP) 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) with the goal to create references to truth-level MC records for current and future experiments. Event data samples are created using:

The file storage is provided by:

This repository was created following the guidelines and principles of the DOE Public Access Plan for unclassified and otherwise unrestricted scientific data in digital formats.
