Very High Energy pp Collider Physics Studies (regular meetings)

Some reconstructed 100 TeV data using SLIC are in http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/vlhc/data/.

The instruction how to Run SLIC are attached (created by Jan Strube). The instruction works for e+e- collisions generated by Whizard https://whizard.hepforge.org/

# Run the simulation on 10 events (The crossing angle of the beams is
# flexible in our simulation. The physics is from head-on collisions. The
# events need to be boosted appropriately such that the outgoing beams go
# through the right beam pipe):
/afs/cern.ch/eng/clic/software/slic/3.0.1/scripts/slic.sh -x -i
pythiaZPolemumu.stdhep -g sidloi3/sidloi3.lcdd -r 10 -m /afs/cern.ch/user/j/jfstrube/public/FCC/defaultILCCrossingAngle.mac -o input.slcio
# Run the digitization and tracking:

# Run the particle flow reconstruction:
PandoraFrontend -g sidloi3/sidloi3.pandora -i tracking.slcio -c /afs/cern.ch/user/j/jfstrube/public/FCC/PandoraSettings_sidloi3.xml

Monte Carlo simulation files with 100 TeV collision events can be downloaded from the HepSim repository. You download, view and process Monte Carlo files as explained here. Also, look at the HepSim wiki.
