Abstract

A WEB-portal HepWeb allows users to perform the most popular calculations in high energy physics - calculations of hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interaction cross sections as well as calculations of secondary particles characteristics in the interactions using Monte Carlo event generators. The List of the generators includes Dubna version of the intra-nuclear cascade model (CASCADE), FRITIOF model, ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamic model (UrQMD), HIJING model, and AMPT model. Setting up the colliding particles/nucleus properties (collision energy, mass numbers and charges of nuclei, impact parameters of interactions, and number of generated events) is realized by a WEB interface. A query is processed by a server, and results are presented to the user as a WEB-page. Short descriptions of the installed generators, the WEB interface implementation and the server operation are given.
