A. Karneyeu, L. Mijovic, S. Prestel, P. Z. Skands
TL;DR
MCPLOTS is an online platform that uses volunteer computing to host and update a comprehensive collection of high-energy physics simulation plots compared to experimental data, aiding validation and development of event generators.
Contribution
It introduces a publicly accessible, continuously updated repository leveraging volunteer computing for high-energy physics data analysis and comparison.
Findings
Provides a centralized resource for high-energy physics plots
Utilizes volunteer computing to update data regularly
Integrates HEPDATA and RIVET for analysis
Abstract
The mcplots.cern.ch web site (MCPLOTS) provides a simple online repository of plots made with high-energy-physics event generators, comparing them to a wide variety of experimental data. The repository is based on the HEPDATA online database of experimental results and on the RIVET Monte Carlo analysis tool. The repository is continually updated and relies on computing power donated by volunteers, via the LHC@HOME platform.
