The FRED Event Display: an Extensible HepRep Client for GLAST
Marco Frailis, Riccardo Giannitrapani
TL;DR
The paper introduces FRED, a flexible, extensible HepRep client built with modern tools and scripting, designed to enhance event visualization in the GLAST astroparticle experiment.
Contribution
FRED demonstrates the application of scripting and modern programming languages to improve high energy physics event display tools.
Findings
FRED is highly extensible and adaptable.
It successfully integrates scripting for customization.
The prototype shows promise for use in GLAST.
Abstract
A new graphics client prototype for the HepRep protocol is presented. Based on modern toolkits and high level languages (C++ and Ruby), Fred is an experiment to test applicability of scripting facilities to the high energy physics event display domain. Its flexible structure, extensibility and the use of the HepRep protocol are key features for its use in the astroparticle experiment GLAST.
